In other cases, another member of the system will go on to form a second white dwarf. If gravitational instabilities bring ...

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium is shown in blue, and it is arranged in two concentric shells. These two ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

Pictures of a distant supernova remnant show two concentric rings, providing clear evidence that exploding white dwarf stars ...

Supernova remnant W49B is one of the brightest in the galaxy, in terms of its X-ray and gamma ray emission. Previous observations found that the iron atoms were nearly absent from one side of the ...

Several such remnants have been identified and are the subjects of close study. Among these are the well-known Crab Nebula, produced by a supernova that went off in 1054; a beautiful, bubble ...
