Astronomers using the Australia Telescope Compact Array have mapped polarized radio filaments and wisps inside the Vela X ...

We're starting to see just how exceptional our own solar system and its history is, as more exoplanets are discovered. A fourth exoplanet discovery in the LHS 1903 system made by ESA's CHEOPS mission ...

A new study explains how some supernovae are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

After years of investments, African telescopes are emerging as global leaders in frontier astronomy. From South Africa’s MeerKAT capturing the universe’s most distant gigamaser to Ghana’s radio ...

Astronomers tracing a string of strange radio bursts from the direction of the Milky Way’s center have zeroed in on GCRT ...

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

On first impression, Waiakea High School senior Aaron Lewis doesn’t exactly seem like a scientist. But Lewis was one of 14 newly minted Maunakea Scholars for the 2025-2026 school year during the ...

New research suggests that the highly magnetized remnants of stars are responsible for powering some of the universe’s most brilliant supernova explosions ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar - a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star - and confirmed that it's the power ...

We all know how weird black holes are, but did you know there is another type of star that is just as strange? Welcome to the universe of neutron stars.
