Multiple telescopes observed a rare cosmic explosion called a kilonova that created heavy elements in space, including some necessary for life. Explosion 1 million times brighter than the Milky ...
An explosion in space so massive you'll be able to look up and see it in the night sky without a telescope could happen "any day now," a NASA expert said Wednesday. The stellar burst, called a ...
Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have confirmed that GRB 221009A was caused by a massive star undergoing a supernova. [36] The supernova was a Type Ic supernova, similar to SN 1998bw , the first supernova linked to a GRB.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor is a small X-ray telescope satellite for studying the explosions of massive stars by analysing the resulting gamma-ray bursts, developed by China National Space Administration (CNSA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the French Space Agency , [45] launched on 22 June 2024 (07:00:00 UTC).
Very-high-energy gamma rays may be slowed down as they propagate through the quantum turbulence of space-time. [6] [7] The explosion took place 12.2 billion light-years (light travel distance) away. That means it occurred 12.2 billion years ago—when the universe was only about 1.5 billion years old.

A rare astronomical event, a nova explosion, could be visible in the night sky soon. It won't occur again for several decades. Rare nova could light up night sky 'any day now,' says NASA.
Astronomers predict that the nova explosion could happen anytime between now and September. The last time this particular star system erupted was in 1946, Schaefer said, and another eruption will ...
