A 7-ton meteor caused a loud boom and bright flash over Northeast Ohio on Tuesday morning. Experts say the meteor was too ...

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.

These are neutrinos, the "ghost particles" of astrophysics. Almost all of them pass through everything in their path without leaving a trace. But deep inside ...

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

Astronomers have for the first time observed the birth of a magnetar, a highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron star, ...

Their formation has been an object of debate, but new observations confirm the lead hypothesis: they are the product of incredibly bright supernovae. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.

The newborn magnetar, a specific kind of neutron star, actually enhances the brightness of a supernova.

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

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 ...

Superluminous supernovas are the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. Astronomers may have found a mechanism that ...
