Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars in Omega Centauri, the largest star cluster in the Milky ...

Scientists may have discovered a limit to how massive black holes can grow. If they're right, we may have already discovered ...

A new theory explains how dozens of mysterious planet pairs discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, dubbed "JuMBOs," ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet ...

The distinction is in the mass of the companion. In a black widow (BW), the companion is less than 0.1 stellar masses. In a ...

When it came to the supernova threat, the researchers looked at high-mass stars in stellar neighborhoods since only massive ...

However, they also found three surprisingly massive galaxies, with stellar masses comparable to today's Milky Way. These are forming stars nearly twice as efficiently as their lower-mass ...

While the star was alive, nuclear fusion created a constant outward push that balanced the inward pull of gravity from the star's own mass. In the stellar remnants of a supernova, however ...

But unlike the flow of radiation, which is supplied by energy generation in the interior, the flow of mass is not replenished. As a result, the stellar mass decreases at a rate that is usually ...

Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars in Omega Centauri, the largest star cluster in the Milky Way, finally be resolved?

Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches ... holes with masses between supermassive black holes and stellar-mass black holes. Members of this latter group are roughly 100 ...
