Boom.In the colossal Pinwheel galaxy, 25 million light-years away, a star has just exploded and is even visible through small telescopes. The supernova-hunting astronomer Koichi Itagaki discovered ...
SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.
SN 2022jli is a Type Ic supernova discovered in 2022 in the spiral galaxy NGC 157 at a distance of about 23 Mpc. The light curve of the supernova exhibited oscillations that are interpreted as an interaction of a companion star of the star that exploded with a compact object, probably a neutron star or a black hole.

The origins of such explosions are currently unclear, with events occurring at not more than 0.1% of the typical core-collapse supernova rate. [2] This class of transients initially emerged from large sky surveys at cosmological distances, [3] [4] yet in recent years a small number have been discovered in the local Universe, most notably AT ...
A massive explosion this week at a food dye factory in Louisville, Kentucky, left two people dead and a dozen others injured as smoke billowed out of torn metal structures and rubble.
