An international research team has used the Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii to find a Type Ia supernova not long after its explosion. They are the first to find solid evidence about what triggered the star to explode, which will contribute to a further understanding of supernova history and behavior.
29 Sep 2017
A super-computer simulation by an international team of researchers has shown the formation of a rapidly growing star from supersonic gas streams in the early universe left over from the Big Bang. The star ends its life with catastrophic collapse to leave a black hole with a mass of 34,000 times that of the Sun.
