James Webb Space Telescope Unveils Hidden Interstellar Wonders of Supernova Cassiopeia A
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided a rare glimpse into the remnants of a centuries-old supernova in Cassiopeia A. Using infrared technology, the telescope captured a light echo caused by a massive star’s explosion, unveiling new insights into the interstellar medium and its magnetic structures. This breakthrough discovery offers valuable...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Supernova From 11.4 Billion Years Ago
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified AT 2023adsv, a supernova that occurred 11.4 billion years ago. This stellar explosion, from a star 20 times the size of the Sun, offers a glimpse into the early universe's unique stellar evolution. Part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, the event highlights how th...

Neutron Star in 4U 1820-30 Spins at Record-Breaking 716 Rotations Per Second
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...

"Once-In-A-Lifetime" Cosmic Explosion Will Be Visible From Earth, Says NASA
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.

Once-In-A-Lifetime Star Explosion To Appear In Sky After Gap Of 80 Years
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.

James Webb Telescope Shares Stunning Pics Of 19 Spiral Galaxies
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.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Captures Image Of Exploded Star
Since infrared light is undetectable to human vision, scientists and image processors convert infrared light wavelengths into colours that can be seen.

Galaxies Spotted by Webb Space Telescope Rewrite Prior Understanding of Universe
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...

Hubble Telescope Reveals Huge Star's Explosion In Blow-By-Blow Detail
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.

Chandra X-Ray Observatory Reveals Information on the Events Around a Rejected Star
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.
