Astronomers have captured a jaw-dropping picture of star that exploded twice. It is the first time researchers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end in a so-called “double detonation.” ...

Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

This is the first evidence for a white dwarf exploding not once, but twice. The discovery could shed new light on how some ...

Scientists have obtained photographic evidence of a double-detonation Type Ia supernova for the first time. This rare cosmic ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. These are the expanding ...

(CN) — While all stars go out in a bang, some go out with two. For the first time, astronomers have recorded visual evidence ...

An explosion captured in a new image could help astronomers to better understand the "standard candles" at the center of a ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the ...

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in ...

Astronomers have finally caught a dying star in space going out with a bang — and then another bang. The new photographic evidence, captured using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large ...
