This has been an epic year for movies, and 2025 is only halfway over. A collection of tentpole titles and must-see blockbusters has already hit the big screen. The trend of studios mining established IP continues, and popular franchises' remakes, sequels and spin-offs will compete for audiences' attention. James Gunn's Superman was way up on our list of must-see blockbusters in 2025, which was compiled at the beginning of the year. If you read my review, you'll know that it delivered. Anthony

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Stellar Death Shrouds

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-29 23:00:40

In brilliant new images, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare glimpse at the gaseous "shrouds" that surround dying stars before they go supernova. Known as Wolf-Rayet stars, which were discovered nearly 160 years ago by astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet at the Paris Observatory and named in their honor, these ancient stars are, as Space.com notes, surrounded by a "shroud" of cosmic dust that will eventually explode outward and lay the foundations for new stars.

Astronomers Capture First-Ever Image of Star That Exploded Twice

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-11 17:30:48

For years, scientists have suspected that stars can meet their doom by a one-two punch of back-to-back explosions — but they've never seen visual evidence of this happening. That just changed. Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile have taken the first-ever image of a star that died in a stellar "double-detonation," leaving behind a spectacular supernova remnant. Their findings, published as a new study in the journal Nature Astronomy, deepen our understanding of the stellar evolu

New evidence that some supernovae may be a “double detonation”

Type Ia supernovae are critical tools in astronomy, since they all appear to explode with the same intensity, allowing us to use their brightness as a measure of distance. The distance measures they've given us have been critical to tracking the expansion of the Universe, which led to the recognition that there's some sort of dark energy hastening the Universe's expansion. Yet there are ongoing arguments over exactly how these events are triggered. There's widespread agreement that type Ia supe

As mysterious as the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe is the brief but tumultuous period that immediately followed it. How did the cosmos transform from a uniform sea of darkness into a chaotic swirl brimming with radiant stars? What were these first stars like, and how were they born?
