What's the deadliest part of a supernova explosion? To estimate this we have to look at what the actual destructive ...

Some of the most massive and influential stars in the universe are OB stars. These blue giants, many times more massive than ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

The most dangerous parts of a supernova explosion are the outputs like X-rays and gamma rays. Even though they only share a ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

The rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million ...

Dr. Nick Wright, from Keele University, added: "Supernova explosions are some of the most energetic explosions in the ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say these ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

Simulating the supernova with computer models, the team suggested that the radiation from this stellar explosion pummeled the ...
