What can an exploding star in a distant galaxy teach scientists about red supergiants? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of ...
For decades, astronomers have been watching WOH G64, an enormous heavyweight star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy ...
Astronomers say they've captured the clearest look yet of a star on the brink of supernova. An international team used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to backtrack and find the original star that ...
