Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new imagery of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. It is 11,000 light-years away in ...

"Why are we here?" is humanity's most fundamental and persistent question. Tracing the origins of the elements is a direct attempt to answer this at its deepest level. We know many elements are ...

Italian astronomers have developed a 3-D model for the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 in order to investigate the morphology of this source. The model allowed the researchers to gain more insights ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Tycho, one of the best studied supernova remnants, may have briefly served as the most powerful ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova remnant that had not been observed before." When you purchase through links on ...

Supernova 1987A, the nearest observed supernova in modern history, continues to offer profound insights into the life‐cycle of massive stars. Its distinctive features, including a prominent equatorial ...

The universe is a chaotic place filled with exploding stars, material falling into black holes, and rogue planets wandering off on their own. All that chaos makes astronomers suspicious when they ...

NASA has released an unprecedented time-lapse video showing the evolution of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant, a cosmic relic of a massive stellar explosion. Captured by the Chandra X-ray Observatory over ...

When scientists aimed the European Space Agency's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, at two mysterious lights on the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, they discovered an unexpected source: two ...
