Researchers have found that supernovae explosions are preceded by observable radiation whose features should make it possible to distinguish the radiation of a future supernova from other light sources in space.

An organ-on-chip simulates the effects of cosmic radiation on astronauts
Future astronauts may be protected from galactic cosmic rays thanks to a novel organ-on-chip system containing interconnected human tissue.
Black hole morsels could make Hawking radiation detectable with current telescopes
During the tumultuous mergers of black holes, smaller black holes called morsels could produce detectable Hawking radiation.
LISA gravitational wave detector could help scientists see the birth of the Universe
ESA greenlights LISA, a space-based observatory poised to detect gravitational waves across space and time.
“Stellar paternity tests” link orphan stars to their parent clusters
Astronomers used the Gaia Space Telescope to say “you are the father” by tracing hot young stars back to their place of birth.
Cosmic explosion is one of the most powerful and rapid blasts ever seen by astronomers
The rare but extreme blast that outshone most supernovas originated two billion light years away and has been classed as a “Luminous Fast Cooler”.
Understanding gravitational waves: Ripples in spacetime explained
The universe is ringing with gravity, but humanity is only just beginning to hear the nuance of this cosmic symphony.
Time ran slowly in the early Universe, just as Einstein predicted
Using quasars as ticking cosmic clocks, scientists took a journey back in time, discovering time progressed five times slower just after the Big Bang.
Searching for the true theory of electromagnetism
Scientists probe cosmic microwave background and black hole radiation to test our understanding of electromagnetism.
Observations shed light on neutron star paradox
Astronomers have observed neutron stars that emit more energy than is theoretically possible, and now an explanation might be in the works.
