In recent years, astronomers have spotted tantalizing clues that some massive stars turn into black holes before they can eject material outward — in an event they call a failed supernova.

Early data of “little red dots,” or LRDs, from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appeared to suggest the presence of ...

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a stellar monster 20 times the mass of the sun.

"This is how you solve the universe-breaking problem." ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense ... In the stellar remnants of a supernova, however, there are no longer forces to oppose that gravity, so the star core begins to collapse ...

The system's stability suggests the black hole formed without an explosion, as a supernova would have disrupted the triple arrangement. This supports the "direct collapse" theory, where stars ...

Supernovae are one of the most useful events in all of astronomy. Scientists can directly measure their power, their spin, ...

Grand cosmic events demand electrons to reach relativistic speeds. A new study explains where they get their initial energy ...
