Astronomers have analyzed the images collected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to investigate a galactic open cluster ...

Breakthrough discovery provides new clues about how these celestial bodies - that push the known laws of physics to their limits - find each other.

An international research team led by Chinese scientists has discovered new evidence about Type II-P supernovae, suggesting that some of these stellar explosions may originate from merged binary stars ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

New ALMA and JWST observations reveal why Wolf–Rayet star WR 112 produces tiny dust grains, showing a bimodal grain distribution in its binary system.

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form.

CWISE J1249+36, a low-mass runaway star, is traveling at an extraordinary speed that could propel it out of the Milky Way.

Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...

The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.

In September 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft rammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos at nearly 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 ...

An international team of scientists, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, has detected 128 new ...
