Remnants of 140-year-old stellar explosion are located close to our galaxy's centre. Astronomers have released baby pictures of the youngest supernova yet discovered in the Milky Way. The images ...

A supernova could light up the Milky Way at any time. Astronomers will be watching When a star from our Galactic neighbourhood explodes, it could outshine the Moon.

New observations show a star that blew up in two separate bursts, confirming a long-suspected cosmic phenomenon called a ...

The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light ... Supernova reveals rare pair of stars believed to be one of only about 10 like it in the Milky Way ...

Astronomers have discovered a giant, 500-light-year-wide cavity between two star-forming regions in the constellations Perseus and Taurus. An ancient supernova could be the culprit.

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new object in our Milky Way galaxy. The celestial object is emitting X-rays around the same time it's shooting out radio waves.

The most recent nearby supernova, SN 1987A, was in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Milky Way’s youngest known supernova is called G1.9+0.3.

The Milky Way's youngest known supernova remnant is a radio source called G1.9+0.3. The remnant, which lies 27,700 light-years away, is only about 140 years old.

The Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey has looked at 101 spiral galaxies similar to the Milky Way and 378 satellite galaxies around those 101. Finding these smaller galaxies is ...

“When a neutrino from a Milky Way supernova enters the tank, it can collide with the water molecules and release energy, along with some neutrons,” Ohio State added.

Newly measured distance to stellar debris in the northern sky links it more firmly to an explosion observers saw in 1181.
