Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of space-time predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. The discovery came from ...

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville have proposed a mathematical framework for a warp drive that operates ...

The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the ...

Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.

In December 2024, astronomers watched a star around 25 times the mass of our sun die in a blaze of glory. Located one billion light-years from Earth, SN 2024afav was a prime example of a superluminous ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...
