Cause of Supernova SN 1006 RevealedBetween 30 April and 1 May of the year 1006 the brightest stellar event ever recorded in history occurred: a supernova, or stellar explosion, that was widely ...

In 1006 AD, what was thought to be a “new star” suddenly appeared in the sky and over the course of a few days became brighter than the planet Venus. The supernova of 1006, or SN 1006, may ...

This space wallpaper shows a ribbon of gas, a very thin section of a supernova remnant caused by a stellar explosion that occurred more than 1,000 years ago, floating in our galaxy.

Supernova SN 1006 was seen all over Earth that Spring, but scientists today have revealed that, despite its cosmic call, the star was all alone.

<p>The figure shows a composite image of supernova remnant SN 1006. The upper left circle shows the IXPE observed area. The IXPE 2&mdash;4 keV emission is shown with the purple colour, with ...

Scientists have discovered a new supernova—a star exploding after collapsing under its own gravity—thanks to a curve in spacetime.

Astronomers from the Yunnan University in China and other institutions have carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently detected supernova designated SN 2024aecx. Results ...

Ancient astronomers have long been providing observations of supernovae, such as SN 185 by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD, SN 1054, which produced the Crab Nebula, and SN 1006, the brightest ...

A star exploded as a supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy in Ursa Major, Sky and Telescope reports. It’s bright enough to see with a small telescope.

The supernova SN 1006 is of the type that occurs in binary systems, those consisting of two astronomical objects bound together by their gravitational pull.
