Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

The signals provide astronomers with a look into the life, and death, of a massive star exploding into a supernova.

"Our study provides a new direction to understand the whole evolutionary history of massive stars toward the formation of black hole binaries." ...
