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

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even light—can escape from it. At the center of ...

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

Violent superflares erupt from sun-like stars about once a century, far more frequently than previously expected. As a ...

The team wants to investigate black holes with masses between supermassive black holes and stellar-mass black holes. Members of this latter group are roughly 100 times heftier than the sun and ...

Astronomers have discovered a breathtaking phenomenon that challenges our understanding of planetary dynamics. WASP-69 b, a distant gas giant located 163 light-years from Earth, has been observed with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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?
