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 distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving ...

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

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

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

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

A research team led by Caltech may have just discovered the first-ever superkilonova, a cosmic phenomenon in which a star ...

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

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 ...
