Binary star system supernova science just hit a milestone: a Stanford-led team using 16 years of NASA Fermi data confirmed ...

Scientists now for the first time have discovered evidence of two such massive stars from a binary system that both ran out of fuel and exploded ‌violently within a relatively short time.

Could humanity survive an asteroid impact, nuclear war, a supervolcano, or even a gamma-ray burst? This deep dive ranks ...

The afterglow of the study's subject, GRB 260310A, was one of the brightest observed in a decade.

It's what's called a memo of understanding, basically saying there is a deal but that nothing about it is binding yet. County Commissioner Joshua Wostal confirmed to Spectrum News on Thursday that the ...

The Jellyfish Nebula, one of the best-studied supernova remnants in our galaxy, may have been hiding a sibling this whole ...

For decades, astrophysicists have been puzzling over a mystery hidden in plain view: Most supernovae come from the biggest ...

For the first time ever, astronomers have found two sibling stars that each exploded as supernovas, gaining a new view of ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A two-armed space robot blasted off on a private salvage operation Tuesday afternoon to slap life ...

Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than ...

In a single experiment, physicists have measured the "excess" emission of high-energy gamma rays from more than a dozen heavy, unstable atomic nuclei. Mapping the gamma-ray emissions of so many ...

When massive stars die, they explode, leaving behind supernova remnants. Given how common binary star systems are — more than half the stars in our galaxy have a companion — it stands to reason that ...
