Aug 2nd: Discovery of Twin Supernovae Could Open Up Dark Energy Experiments
SNFactory found that among about 50 supernovae, many had nearly identical spectra, paving the way of using supernovae to search dark energy.
Jul 31st: Supernova. The Difference Between Type 1 & Type 2
Supernovae are powerful explosions in Universe, releasing more energy in a moment than most stars release in their entire lifetimes.
Jul 26th: Strange Supernova Appears Cool Before Exploding
Researchers find that the “oddball supernova” of a curiously cool, yellow star was lacking the hydrogen content expected.
Jun 7th: Dark Matter Delays Supernova Signal
A supernova first observed in 2016 will be replayed in a few years because of the light’s journey through a galaxy cluster and how dark matter gravitationally warps space-time.
Jan 25th: Millards in Space!
Lets explore the the first proof connecting supernovae to black holes and neutron stars, cyclones on a far-away world, dazzling images of Io, and the true color of Neptune.

Oct 14th: The Cosmic Finch
Today’s NOIRLab Astro discuss about a new supernova event from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients class that more powerful than the average supernova.
May 10th: Stellar Death Just Got More Lit!
Remember that new object COW, named for a strange supernova? We’ve seen four more of these Fast Blue Optical Transients, and new research may even have figured out just how and why they occur
