NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the first published detection of a supernova progenitor in galaxy NGC 1637, revealing a red supergiant star before explosion.

The light from the explosion did not reach Earth till June 29, 2025, when the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae detected it.

For the very first time, astronomers have captured a radio signal emitted by a very specific type of stellar explosion. This ...

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

Earlier this year, a powerful gamma-ray burst traveled through space from a very distant source in the cosmos. The explosion was traced back to the early universe, just millions of years after the Big ...

DS1, collapsed into a black hole without exploding, revealing how stars die in silent “failed supernova” events.
