Astronomers have strengthened long-standing predictions that massive runaway stars could have originated in binary pairs, and ...

Astronomers tracked a star that slowly faded instead of exploding. The quiet disappearance may reveal a hidden way black holes are born.

In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting as a lens. Credit: ESA/Hubble, L. Calçada ...

"Until now, it was unknown what type of star would remain after the merger." ...

What happens to a large star near the end of its lifetime before it explodes as a supernova? This is what a recent study ...

When young stars mix with neutron stars, things get messy.

Solar storms are eruptions that release some of the energy stored in the sun's strong magnetic field. These can create intense, localized explosions called solar flares, or much more powerful and ...

Merger of two neutron stars in the aftermath of a supernova may have been observed for the first time, though questions ...

In the early 1960s, Dutch astronomer Adriaan Blaauw observed stars moving at unusually high speeds moving through the Milky ...

Astronomers have caught a massive star exploding just moments after the universe emerged from the cosmic dark ages, shedding light on how the first stars were born and how they die. When stars run out ...

A record-breaking neutrino detection in 2023 may mark the first time humans witnessed a primordial black hole exploding, and these ancient objects could be the dark matter holding galaxies together.
