A record-shattering stellar blast has been caught on camera in unprecedented detail, and the footage is forcing astronomers to rethink how stars die. The event, linked to an extreme gamma-ray outburst ...

NASA’s Fermi telescope has detected what may be the first confirmed gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova — one of the most extreme explosions in the universe. Scientists believe the blast ...

The longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded did not roar for seconds or even minutes, but for a staggering seven hours, forcing astronomers to rethink how some of the most violent explosions in the ...

LSU researchers helped uncover what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous supernova, using data ...

Most gamma-ray bursts—the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe—are tracked back to the deaths of massive stars. But a new discovery suggests that such enormous explosions can come from ...
