Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Aston University lecturer, Dr Sayantan Biswas, delved into why diagnostic challenges remain despite advances in technology at ...

Rumors that this is only possible during the equinox may not be true, but what is true is that it kicks off the brightest six ...

Defending champs San Diego Super Bloom came out swinging to start the 2026 season, putting away a buzzy Bay Area team who had ...

An artist's impression of a magnetar with a wobbly accretion disk. (Joseph Farah and Curtis McCully) A never-before-seen 'chirp' in the light of an exploding star has revealed new clues about the ...

Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of space-time predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. The discovery came from ...

Astronomers have for the very first time watched the birth of a magnetar comprising the mass of 500,000 Earths squeezed ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

A new study explains how some supernovae are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...
