Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born inside the extreme stellar explosion.

Seven wins. Ten of eleven. Third in the West. The Lakers aren't just winning—they're warping space-time. Houston, they had a ...

In a stroke of luck, astronomers saw the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) break into four or five fragments in November after it passed close to the sun.

The death of Betelgeuse will create a celestial spectacle visible from Earth: a point of light as bright as the full moon, even during the day. This video explores the scientific, cultural, and ...

Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.

Scientists have observed something strange about one of the largest stars known in the Universe, and they aren’t entirely sure about what it means. WOH G64, a star with a mass 28 times that of the sun ...

Astronomers have witnessed the birth of a rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron star or "magnetar" for the first time. The observation of this event, triggered by the death ...

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Researchers say the "powerful engine" behind superluminous exploding stars had been hidden for years — until a "chirp" from the cosmos helped confirm their link.

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...
