A type Ia supernova occurs when a white dwarf — the cooling remnant of an aging star — draws hydrogen from a companion sun. When the dwarf reaches 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, the star spontaneously ...

A white dwarf star around 160,000 light years away appears to have exploded twice – the first evidence astronomers have seen that such supernovae involve a double detonation. White dwarf stars are ...
