Brave New World is about to hit cinemas, bringing with it the gamma-ray-powered Red Hulk. Here's what you need to know about ...

A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024.

One of those detections was EP240408a, an unusual blast that lit up discussions between astronomers. Zhang and his colleagues ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory and other telescopes. A kilonova is a "the afterglow ...

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 are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

Rare and massive Wolf-RAY stars are energetic and hot, gradually collapsing right before the telescope. The luminous gas masses are generally over 30 times heavier than Earth and are expelled by ...

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs): Extremely powerful explosions in distant galaxies that emit vast amounts of energy, mainly as gamma rays. Hypernovae (Massive Star Explosions): Ultra-powerful stellar ...

Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.
