When the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton pointed its telescope at two unidentified sources of light in the outskirts of ...

Astronomers from Turkey and Japan have performed optical observations of a recently discovered nearby supernova remnant known ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated by a supernova explosion approximately 350 years ago. The material glows in ...

To truly elevate your stargazing experience, you need to invest in some quality gear. A high-powered telescope is key for ...

The remnant cloud known as Cassiopeia A illustrates the final stage of a star's life. In images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, one can see the still-hot filaments of the supernova remnant ...

Astronomers will keep studying Cassiopeia A, although their success makes them eager to turn JWST’s eyes toward some of the other roughly 400 identified supernova remnants in our galaxy.

"We think every dense, dusty region that we see, and most of the ones we don't see, look like this on the inside — we just have never been able to look inside them before." ...

This result is called a thermal light echo. JWST detected the light echo in the vicinity of Cassiopeia A, a supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia, around 11,000 light-years from Earth. The ...

Astronomers hypothesize that the FRBs could be originating from two supernova remnants, called neutron stars, that are merging or collapsing onto themselves, Shah said. Continuing to study these FRBs ...

One of the youngest supernova remnants in our galaxy, Cassiopeia A glows with the energy of a star’s final breath.
