UC Berkeley supernova and black hole expert Alex Filippenko will share the 2026 Gruber Cosmology Prize, which was announced today (May 19) by the Gruber Foundation. The prize, one of the most ...

As a star nears the end of its life, it faces two very different fates: It can explode as a supernova, leaving behind a ...

Tiny particles called neutrinos could help determine whether a dying massive star explodes as a supernova or collapses into a ...

Supernovae are, as far as we know, unpredictable. Occasionally a star goes boom in a galaxy near or far. There is an ...

Over the decades leading up to the explosion of the rare and luminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq, the mass-loss rate of its ...

When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright and powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawaiʻi at ...

Three decades of supernova observations are adding to hints that dark energy may be changing over cosmic time.

A spectacular supernova, SN 2026aaiv, has erupted in the spiral galaxy NGC 7331, located 45 million light-years away in the Pegasus constellation and visible from both hemispheres.
