A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

Neutron stars are formed when giant stars run out of fuel. Their internal pressure is no longer sufficient to fight gravity, and the resulting collapse and supernova explosion leaves a tiny core, with ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

A distant neutron star unexpectedly reawakened, unleashing a powerful X-ray surge that may reveal how the universe’s most ...

Astrophysicists are turning the universe’s dying stars into laboratories for one of physics’ most elusive ideas, the axion.

Scientists from several institutions, including the University of Chicago, discovered a lemon-shaped planet with an ...

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre carbon-rich planet orbiting a neutron star, PSR J2322-2650b, with soot clouds and ...

Astronomers may have discovered the first example of an explosive cosmic event called a "superkilonova," in the form of a gravitational wave signal detected on Aug. 18, 2025.

Astronomers have discovered a carbon-rich exoplanet with a bizarre atmosphere and shape, orbiting a neutron star under extreme conditions that challenge current models of planetary formation. Scientis ...
