Nasa Star Explosion

Astronomers have detected a neutron star in the binary system 4U 1820-30 spinning at 716 times per second, breaking records for speed. Located 26,000 light-years from Earth, the star's surface releases explosive thermonuclear bursts that make it shine up to 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. This discovery offers new insights into the extreme pro...

The "Blaze Star," which is a binary system in the Northern Crown about 3,000 light years from Earth, is comprised of a white dwarf, an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star with a mass comparable to the sun.

Known as "the blaze star," T Coronae Borealis is one of the galaxy's ten known recurring novas

Sometime between now and September, a massive explosion 3,000 light years from Earth will flare up in the night sky, giving amateur astronomers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this space oddity.

These 19 spiral galaxy photos appear to show that galaxies grow from the inside out, which means that star formation begins in the centre of the galaxy and spreads outward through its spiral arms.

Since infrared light is undetectable to human vision, scientists and image processors convert infrared light wavelengths into colours that can be seen.

NASA's new X-ray telescope observed the haunting 'bones' of a ghostly cosmic hand 16,000 light-years from Earth for a record 17 days.

"Hubble is the only way that we can actually watch what's happening at the edge of the bubble with such clarity," said an astronomer.

The Hubble Space Telescope observed UGC 11860 back in 2014, utilising its powerful Wide Field Camera 3.

The aftermath of stars that died in a bright, powerful explosion is seen in images released on Tuesday by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

Observations by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are upending the understanding of the early universe, indicating the presence of large and mature but remarkably compact galaxies teeming with stars far sooner than scientists had considered possible. Astronomers said data obtained by the telescope reveals what appear to be six big galaxies as matur...

About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova documented by astronomers in blow-by-blow detail.

Data received from the US space agency NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed some fascinating features of a star, which was likely ejected from its birthplace due to a powerful explosion. The star, Zeta Ophiuchi, has a complicated past and is located some 440 light-years from Earth.

NASA has made a new discovery that it expects to be a major step towards understanding how some giant stars explode. It has shared a new image of remnants of a famous supernova that has led to the new findings.

NASA has detected a massive thermonuclear explosion coming from outer space, caused by a massive thermonuclear flash on the surface of a pulsar -- the crushed remains of a star that long ago exploded as a supernova.
