supernova

This discovery could also help explain cosmic events like supernova explosions and gravitational waves, since binaries containing one or more of these compact dead stars are thought to be the origin of such phenomena.

The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that appeared in 1054.

Some phenomena, like supernova explosions or tidal disruption events -- when a star gets too close to a black hole and is torn apart -- can make galaxies suddenly light up.

At the end of their life, large stars use up all their fuel and explode in a spectacular blast called a supernova.

The lord of vibrato’s melismatic flourishes flickered like comet trails across an anthemic “Jeremy,” one of the darkest hits in modern rock history, which blew up in a joyful supernova on Thursday.
