Stars

Astronomers have learned how to find supernova explosions in their earliest stages, giving us an unprecedented look at how these stars blow up.

Astronomers discovered a star-triggered explosion shaping its dusty disk, revealing a far more chaotic and intense environment than previously thought.

The star, called DFK 52, is a member of a cluster of similar red supergiants, but it's losing mass at an extreme rate never seen before.

Astronomers spot a rare stellar bridge in Abell 3667, revealing an aggressive galaxy merger and new clues about dark matter.

Ultimately, we do not understand where glitches come from or exactly what's going on inside pulsars.

Astronomers have discovered the first evidence of a white dwarf wiped out by a double-detonation supernova, also providing space-lovers with stunning eye-candy.

Star RIK 113 is busy making a new planet in its protoplanetary disk as seen in this new image from the Very Large Telescope.

Astronomers may have discovered a rare type of binary star system, where one star used to orbit inside its partner.

New radio observations of the star HW2 show one of the fastest growth rates ever recorded, shedding light on how massive stars form from swirling gas disks.
