Using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a gamma-ray binary system known as PSR ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

In an interview with ScreenTime, Chris Pratt discussed what Star-Lord has been doing since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He said, “Probably denying the fact that he was responsible for the death of ...

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...

A new study reveals a rare-breaking white dwarf star, dubbed RXJ0528+2838, that is somehow generating a rainbow-like "bow shock" as it zooms through the Milky Way. The cosmic zombie is also ripping ...

Some stars in our galaxy, known as hypervelocity stars, move much faster than most other stars in the Milky Way. In fact, they are traveling so fast that our galaxy’s gravity can’t hold onto them and ...

Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet imaging. The planet, known as HD 143811 AB b, is the closest-in world ever ...

A case of astronomical fratricide is doomed to end in a fiery supernova bright enough to be spotted from Earth during the day. A study published this August in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

Is it a two-for-sun deal. Astronomers were blown away after discovering a bizarre exoplanet that orbits twin stars closer than any ever seen before in a binary star system, per a starry study ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...
