A research team linked nearby stellar explosions to at least one, possibly two, mass die-offs after calculating the supernova ...

Deaths of nearby massive stars may have played a significant role in triggering at least two mass extinction events in ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

Two of Earth’s five confirmed mass extinction events could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions stripping the ...

New research suggests that powerful star explosions, called supernovae, may have caused at least two mass extinctions in ...

The rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million ...

As part of this, the research team calculated the supernova rate within 20 parsecs of the Sun, or approximately 65 ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova ...

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history. An analysis of ...

A supernova is a cataclysmic stellar death that leaves behind a black hole or neutron star. It is the biggest, brightest, and most violent type of explosion scientists have observed in the universe.
