Nov. 24, 2021 Mounded, luminous clouds of gas and dust glow in this Hubble image of a Herbig-Haro object known as HH 45. Herbig-Haro objects are a rarely seen type of nebula that occurs when hot gas ejected by a ...
Oct. 2, 2021 In a distant star system -- a mere 1,300 light years away from Earth -- researchers may have identified the first known planet to orbit three ...
Aug. 2, 2021 About 2,000 light-years away from Earth, there is a star catapulting toward the edge of the Milky Way. This particular star is one of a unique breed of fast-moving stars -- remnant pieces of massive ...
Mar. 28, 2022 Astrophysicists studying in unprecedented detail a red giant star named V Hydrae have witnessed the star's mysterious death throes. Researchers discovered that the carbon-rich star has expelled ...
Nov. 10, 2021 A new method has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two ...
May 5, 2021 Astronomers examined a massive star two-and-a-half years before it exploded into a supernova. At the end of their lives, cool, yellow stars are typically shrouded in hydrogen, which conceals the ...
Sep. 20, 2021 Star-forming galaxies are responsible for creating gamma-rays that until now had not been associated with a known ...
June 13, 2022 New study finds star-forming cloud's magnetic field is curiously twisted. Researchers believe a newborn star moved into another young star's stellar envelope to form a binary star system. ...
Oct. 27, 2022 When two neutron stars merge, the resultant explosion forms heavy elements -- many of which make up our Universe. A new study has identified the specific rare-earth elements produced in a neutron ...
May 17, 2023 Astronomers reveal the origin of a thermonuclear supernova explosion. Strong emission lines of helium and the first detection of such a supernova in radio waves show that the exploding white dwarf ...
