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.

Our sun and a host of "solar twins" may have migrated away from the core of the Milky Way galaxy together long ago, potentially making the solar system more hospitable to life.

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