Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born inside the extreme stellar explosion.

Can the "Netflix effect" from an upcoming Napa Valley series spark a Drive to Survive-style revival for the wine industry?

After analysing 38 million film credits, I found 11,827 movies where one person held all four creative roles. I'm calling this 'Egocore' and it's more common and more nuanced than you might think.

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.

Jordan has won our hearts and the box office. But there’s debate about his craft. After watching “Sinners” for the fourth ...

The discovery of a newborn magnetar inside a distant supernova helps explain why some stellar explosions shine far brighter ...

A new study explains how some supernovae are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...
