As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

When massive stars collapse, they can form neutron stars—objects so dense that atoms themselves are crushed apart. But some physicists believe the collapse could go even further, creating an exotic ...

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...

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

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

Scientists believe this long stream of gas may have formed when several galaxies collided millions of years ago.

Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.

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 ...

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

Rocket Lab Corporation is upgraded to 'Buy' due to improved financials, a strong backlog, and a favorable valuation reset.

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.
