While we understand the basic concept behind supernovae to be the final energetic stage of stellar life, there are a ton of pressing questions that continue to riddle astronomers’ minds about how they ...

It’s topped with a new Primeweave upper that, according to Adidas, adapts to the foot and reduces weight, backed by a ...

Scientists have begun to unravel the mysteries behind a star's dying moments. Using a new 3D computer model, researchers were able to reconstruct what happens before a star explodes. Supernovae are ...

Supernovae are stellar explosions of cosmic proportions (literally). They are some of the most violent events in the known universe. A single supernova emits enough energy to outshine an entire galaxy ...

A research team in Japan has created a groundbreaking Milky Way simulation that follows more than 100 billion stars with a level of detail that was once thought impossible.

Gravity eventually overpowers financial fakery. When debt-asset bubbles expand at rates far above the expansion of earnings and real-world productive wealth, their collapse is inevitable. The ...

Giant stars die a violent death. After a life of several million years, they collapse into themselves and then explode in what is known as a supernova. How these stars explode remains a mystery.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The brightest, most spectacular explosions in the Universe -- ...

While we know that all the Sun and the lineup of planets would have been accumulated over time from a dense cloud of gas where gravity allowed all of it to clump together, we weren’t entirely sure if ...

The death of a massive star is among the most energetic events in the cosmos. However, the particular way a star explodes is a matter of some dispute: different theoretical models predict different ...
