Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and ...

Today in the history of astronomy, satellites Vela 3 and 4 make the first detection of gamma-ray bursts.

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

After almost three decades in music, we look back at some songs that define the veteran rock band Queens of the Stone Age's ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

Since it is only detecting the gamma ray pulse, the BhangmeterV2 is only sensitive to nuclear events within line-of-sight, which is really not where you want to be relative to a nuclear event.

Researchers have captured the first real-time observation of a gamma-ray flash linked to a lightning strike, shedding light on the extreme energy processes in Earth’s atmosphere. Credit: Shutterstock ...
