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

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

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

Five 'mass extinctions' have decimated our planet since it was formed - now scientists claim the answers to two could be written in the stars.

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth’s history. A new study ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

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

Supernovas are powerful explosions marking the death of massive stars. They spread elements like carbon, calcium, and iron ...

the experts found that their research supported the theory that a supernova explosion was responsible for both the late Devonian and Ordovician extinction events—two of the five known mass ...

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