Astronomers have found compelling evidence that at least some fast radio bursts originate from stars in binary systems rather than from isolated objects. An international group of astronomers, ...

It is theoretically possible for a particularly massive star to collapse in on itself to form a black hole rather than ...

For about three years now, scientists have been anticipating a nova explosion. Specifically, the explosion of the binary star ...

A research team has successfully imaged a nova in high resolution—and the images suggest that the nova was not a single, impulsive explosion. A nova is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in a ...

Astronomers have confirmed the earliest barred spiral galaxy in the universe, a Milky-Way-like structure that existed just 2 ...

New insights are emerging into one of astronomy’s most perplexing signals. An international research team led in part by ...

Researchers have, for the first time, discovered clear evidence that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) are emitted by binary ...

Scientists have identified phenomena in deep space that can act as naturally occurring “space weather stations” far beyond our solar system.

An international team of astronomers has uncovered the first clear evidence that some fast radio burst (FRB) sources, those ...
