Deep-Sea Beryllium-10 Hints at Supernova Debris Reaching Earth 10 Million Years Ago
A new study has uncovered deep-sea evidence suggesting Earth may have been struck by debris from a nearby exploding star 10 million years ago. Scientists found unusually high levels of Beryllium-10 in Pacific crusts, consistent with a supernova origin. The findings could transform understanding of cosmic influences on Earth’s history, though terr...

PSR J0922+0638 Pulsar Keeps Glitching Every 550 Days, Scientists Are Intrigued
PSR J0922+0638, an ultradense neutron star, shows puzzling rotational glitches every 550 days. Using 22 years of radio data, scientists detected both abrupt and slow changes in its spin. These may be linked to magnetic field cycles or superfluid dynamics deep inside the star. However, the exact cause remains a mystery, demanding continued long-term...

Astronomers Spot Nearly Perfect Supernova Remnant of Unknown Size and Distance
Astronomers have spotted a nearly perfect spherical supernova remnant named Telios on the Milky Way’s outskirts. With its low brightness and unknown distance, Telios defies standard models of cosmic remnants and may signal a rare Type Ia supernova. Its symmetry makes it one of the most intriguing galactic remnants ever recorded.

Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory to Detect Millions of Exploding Stars
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy. These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin...

Zombie Star’s Mysterious Spiky Filaments Baffle Astronomers in New Discovery
A zombie star remnant, Pa 30, located 6,500 light-years from Earth, is surrounded by spiky filaments that have baffled astronomers. These filaments, observed for centuries, continue to puzzle scientists, as their formation and long-term stability remain unclear. The star's explosion in 1181 was initially noted by skywatchers, but its remnant struct...

Supernova Remnant G278.94+1.35 is Closer to Earth, Claims New Study
Astronomers discovered that the supernova remnant G278.94+1.35 is located just 3,300 light years away, much closer than previously believed. Initially thought to span over 500 light years, it is now estimated to measure around 189 by 182 light years. Named "Diprotodon" after Australia’s extinct giant marsupial, this structure remains in an expand...

"Amount Of Attention On Me...": Elon Musk Resolves To Keep His Head Down
Tesla CEO Elon Musk today said the "amount of attention on me has gone supernova" and resolved that he will try to keep his head down and remain focused on doing "useful things for civilization".

Giant Mysterious Ring Near Milky Way Galaxy Could Be an Intergalactic Supernova Remnant
The international team of experts found a mysterious circular ring that is believed to be the remains of an exploded star. This giant ring-shaped phenomenon near our neighbouring galaxy is being called a "rogue" supernova remnant. Named J0624–6948, it is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Nasa Spots Slowest Known Magnetar
The magnetar 1E 1613 - at the centre of RCW 103, the remains of a supernova explosion located about 9,000 light years from Earth - rotates once every 24,000 seconds (6.67 hours), the researchers found.
