On April 10, 2024, astronomers began the fast-paced mission to capture supernova SN 2024ggi. Study coauthor Yi Yang of ...

Scientists have observed for first time the very early stages of a supernova — death of a star — with a massive star exploding in a distinctive olive-like shape ...

Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

Scientists have captured the moment the shockwave of a supernova explosion breaks out through the surface of a doomed star ...

The explosive death of a star - a supernova - is among the most violent cosmic events, but precisely how this cataclysm looks ...

Astronomers have captured a first-of-its-kind image of a massive dying star.

Scientists have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova — the death of a star — with a massive star ...

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

Chris Ashall, an assistant astronomer at the UH Mānoa Institute for Astronomy, was part of the global team that zeroed in on the stellar explosion known as SN 2024ggi. The supernova was first spotted ...
