Wild, Hidden Cousin Of SN 1987A: Powerful Supernova Caught By Web Of Telescopes

Astronomers may have discovered the relative of a freakishly behaving exploding star once thought to be the only one of its kind. For more than two decades, astronomers have intensively studied supernova 1987A, an exploding star that had behaved like no other. Instead of growing dimmer with time, 1987A has grown brighter at X-ray and radio wavelengths.

Exploding Chromosomes Fuel Research About Evolution

Research into single-celled, aquatic algae called dinoflagellates is showing that these and related organisms may have evolved more than one way to tightly pack their DNA into chromosomes.

Exploding Chromosomes Fuel Research About Evolution Of Genetic Storage

Human cells somehow squeeze two meters of double-stranded DNA into the space of a typical chromosome, a package 10,000 times smaller than the volume of genetic material it contains.

Blitz: The League II Has Exploding Testicles

During a game, you'll have the opportunity to injure the opponent. That's no surprising as Blitz was all about making late hits and cheapshotting. This can range from making a simple tackle to pulling off your helmet and hitting the opponent in the face. But it gets worse.

"Staring" Sculpture Depicts Laser Cats In Duel to Death by Exploding Head

I'm no curator, but these two air-dry clay cat sculptures, merged by mere fluorescent tubing and wired up to glow like the heavens, make me want to start a museum entirely filled with sci-fi animals locked in deadly combat.

iPod nanos turning into roman candles while charging

If you have ever read about exploding batteries in laptops or other electronic devices but thought that the same could never happen to you, you may want to think again. Consumerist reader Dale probably didn't think that the simple act of charging his first-generation iPod nano could start a fire on his desk, but the device had other plans. While charging, Dale's iPod exploded and began smoking and shooting sparks; the sparks kept flying even after the device was disconnected.

Are Social Networking Sites Useful for Business?

Social networking online seems to be exploding: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Digg, and so on. When I ask how these sites can help my business, the answers can be vague. I am trying to relate it to face-to-face networking, which includes sharing ideas, information, and resources with other businesses. Are these sites useful for those goals? There is only so much time in my day and I need to use it effectively. -- B.H., Scarborough, Me.

Little Bang Most Likely Triggered Solar System Formation

For several decades, scientists have thought that the Solar System formed as a result of a shock wave from an exploding star — a supernova — that triggered the collapse of a dense, dusty gas cloud that contracted to form the Sun and the planets. But detailed models of this formation process have only worked under the simplifying assumption that the temperatures during the violent events remained constant. Now, astrophysicists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM) have shown for the first time that a supernova could indeed have triggered the Solar System's formation under the more likely conditions of rapid heating and cooling. The results, published in the October 20, 2008, issue of the Astrophysical Journal, have resolved this long-standing debate.

NASA's Swift Catches Farthest-Ever Gamma-Ray Burst

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA's Swift satellite has found the most distant gamma-ray burst ever detected. The blast, designated GRB 080913, arose from an exploding star 12.8 billion light-years away. "This is the most amazing burst Swift has seen," said the mission's lead scientist Neil Gehrels at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "It's coming to us from near the edge of the visible universe." Because light moves at finite speed, looking farther into the universe means looking back in time. GRB 080913's "lookback time" reveals that the burst occurred less than 825 million years after the universe began. The star that caused this "shot seen across the cosmos" died when the universe was less than one-seventh its present age.

Vivid Gallery of High Speed Photography

No, high speed photography is by no means a new idea; we just very much enjoyed this Flickr collection by user nebarnix. A large gallery of objects frozen in motion with a 500-nanosecond flash, a visual cacophony of exploding eggs and firecrackers captured mid-pop await those who hit the link. Oh, and there's a great shot of a Pabst Blue Ribbon eating a hollow-point bullet:
