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.

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

"If a massive star were to explode as a supernova close to the Earth, the results would be devastating for life on Earth," said Nick Wright, an astrophysicist at Keele University in the United Kingdom ...

A supernova — the explosive death of a massive star — can leave behind a black hole or neutron star. These cosmic blasts are element factories, spreading carbon, calcium, and iron across space, ...

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

The Ordovician event is believed to have wiped out about 60% of invertebrate sea creatures when most life was in the ocean. The late Devonian extinction eliminated 70% of species, reshaping marine ...

The National Botanic Garden of Wales is a great place for your bluebell fix. One of the top spots is Spring Woods, which ...

The Ordovician extinction is thought to have killed off about 60 percent of the invertebrate sea creatures at a time when most of Earth's species lived in the ocean; the late Devonian event ...
