The next Milky Way supernova may not surprise astronomers at all. According to a recent study available on the arXiv preprint server, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, ahead of its decade-long Legacy ...

NASA and ESA release a Hubble image of NGC 7722 showing dust lanes, rings, and supernova follow-up observations in a lenticular galaxy.

In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

Astronomers evaluate how the Vera C. Rubin Observatory can detect and localize the next Milky Way core-collapse supernova using neutrino alerts and optical surveys.

NGC 7722, captured by Hubble, sits somewhere between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy.

Wa-hoo! One of the closest supernovas in years was discovered at a very early stage in the bright galaxy M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, in Ursa Major. The galaxy can be found just above the Handle of the ...

A scintillating spiral galaxy that played host to two supernova explosions in the past 30 years takes center stage in a new image captured by a telescope in Chile's high desert. The galaxy NGC 1187 is ...
