Pulsars are the remnants of large stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 stunning pulsar images shared by NASA ...

N63A is a supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It's located in the southern constellation of Dorado, about 150,000 light years away. The Vela Pulsar is a neutron star that's part of ...

The idea of cosmic threats to Earth almost sounds like the stuff of fiction. But while alien invasions may be far fetched, ...

Measurements of the pulsar tentatively identified with the supernova remnant Vela X support the rotational model. This pulsar is remarkable for the very high degree of linear polarization in its ...

When the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton pointed its telescope at two unidentified sources of light in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, scientists were able to confirm what seemed an ...

Astronomers from Turkey and Japan have performed optical observations of a recently discovered nearby supernova remnant known ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise to mysterious "low-field magnetars." ...

Astronomers will keep studying Cassiopeia A, although their success makes them eager to turn JWST’s eyes toward some of the other roughly 400 identified supernova remnants in our galaxy.

Remnants of the bygone supernova, which is the wreckage from the explosive death of a massive star, continue to captivate astronomers both for its striking beauty and science-packed complex structure.

Scientists targeted a light echo previously observed by NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is one of dozens found near remains of the Cassiopeia A supernova. The Webb images show ...
