A new study from Keele University suggests that at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by ...

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

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say these ...

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

These first steps toward life on land were cut short by the freezing conditions that gripped the planet toward the end of the Ordovician. This resulted in the second largest mass extinction of all ...

Current trends suggest we’re now in another extinction crisis, although it’s unclear if whether that amounts to a sixth mass extinction. The Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction event may have wiped ...

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