Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Physicists think we could see such an explosion in the next 10 years - and it would 'revolutionize physics and rewrite the history of the universe'. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have discovered the most distant supernova in the universe. This stellar explosion, hosted by a very faint galaxy, occurred when the ...

A new study suggests that primordial black holes (PBHs)—hypothetical remnants from the early universe—might be on the verge of an unprecedented cosmic event: an explosion observable with current ...

Primordial black holes are hypothetical black holes thought to have formed moments after the Big Bang. Because they supposedly formed about 14 billion years ago, and black holes are thought to ...

Small black holes with the mass of a pyramid may exist within the solar system, and they could be exploding every decade, according to a new study by physicists at the University of Massachusetts ...

The John N. Bahcall Lecture Series Presenter: Robert Kirshner, Clowes Professor of Science, Harvard University Exploding stars halfway across the universe show that the expansion of the universe is ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...
