The super-luminous supernova ASAS-SN15lh is the most luminous ever measured. Here, an artist's illustration visualizes what it would be like to see the supernova from an exoplanet located about ...

The newly found super-luminous supernova was discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae team (ASAS-SN), an international collaboration headquartered at the Ohio State University, ...

A team of astronomers, including Carnegie's Benjamin Shappee, Nidia Morrell, and Ian Thompson, has discovered the most-luminous supernova ever observed, called ASAS-SN-15lh. It is two times more ...

In late May of 2015, scientists noticed something twice as bright as the brightest known supernova ever seen. Researchers initially thought the object, which they dubbed “ASASSN-15lh,” was ...

Machine-learning technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory played a key role in the discovery of supernova ASASSN-15lh, an exceptionally powerful explosion that was 570 billion times ...

Typically, super luminous supernovae are the result of thermonuclear combustion — or a big star bomb, essentially. Those types of explosions shine bright, but they can’t get nearly as bright ...

The new data concerns a supernova called ASASSN-15lh, a "super luminous supernova" that was hundreds of times brighter than most supernovae and, if we're keeping track, ...

Texas astronomers find super-luminous supernova. Research reveals that Supernova 2008am is the brightest “self-interacting” supernova discovered.

Astronomers have published details of the biggest and brightest supernova ever observed. Designated ASASSN-151h – pronounced "Assassin" - it is 20 times brighter than the entire Milky Way and ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronomers have discovered the brightest star explosion ever, a super supernova that easily outshines our entire Milky Way. An international team revealed "the most ...

A blazing-bright object appears to be the most luminous supernova ever witnessed, and it's blowing the top off researchers' models of how such explosions are powered. When certain stars reach the ...
