Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

Sept. 14 (UPI) --Researchers have designed a new 3D model of a neutrino-driven supernova, the longest and most detailed to date. The new computer model is helping astrophysicists understand the ...

Scientists have begun to unravel the mysteries behind a star's dying moments. Using a new 3D computer model, researchers were able to reconstruct what happens before a star explodes. Supernovae are ...

Giant stars die a violent death. After a life of several million years, they collapse into themselves and then explode in what is known as a supernova. How these stars explode remains a mystery.

While we understand the basic concept behind supernovae to be the final energetic stage of stellar life, there are a ton of pressing questions that continue to riddle astronomers’ minds about how they ...

This visualization depicts a massive star about to collapse and explode into a supernova. Researchers found in the new simulation that the wrinkles that develop just before collapse are crucial to ...

Enormous stars collapse in ultramassive supernova explosions — now in 3D! For the first time ever, researchers have turned back the clock on a star's final moments to simulate how wrinkles in its ...
