To address this difficulty, astrophysicists from Villanova drafted in artificial intelligence (AI) in the hope that it could take what appears to be a single point of stellar light in systems many ...

For the first time, astronomers have captured stunning visual evidence of a star double-detonating itself to death.The twin ...

Researchers have found two massive young stars nestled closer together than anything astronomers have seen so far. By studying PDS 27 and its companion, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth ...

Astronomers have identified 18 extreme mass-ratio binaries in a neighboring galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud, pictured here. The more massive stars weigh six to 16 times as much as the Sun ...

But a new Yale study offers a road map for finding "twin" planetary systems—showing whether binary stars that orbit each other, and that were born at the same time and place, tend to host ...

An international team, led by Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) researcher Ângela Santos, has made the first ...

Astronomers finally know why giant binary stars born from the same collapsing cloud of gas and dust can be "non-identical twins" with different characteristics and planetary systems.

Astronomers have found spiral arms of molecular gas and dust around the "baby twin" stars, binary protostars. Gas motions to supply materials to the twin were also identified. These observational ...

A study of 91 pairs of stars finds that about 8%, or one in 12, swallowed up a planet at some point in their lives. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission ...
