Some exploding stars (supernovae) experience two blasts. These double explosions occur in white dwarf stars. The explosions create two distinct calcium-rich layers. This discovery helps explain how ...

A white dwarf star around 160,000 light years away appears to have exploded twice – the first evidence astronomers have seen that such supernovae involve a double detonation. White dwarf stars are ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers analyzed the centuries-old remains of supernova ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest-ever close-up images of two exploding stars, events known as novae, within days of their eruption. These detailed images show that such explosions are far more ...
