Astronomers from the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Manoa and elsewhere have observed the Taurus star-forming region, which ...

A classical nova may look simple at first. A faint star brightens, sometimes enough for you to spot without a telescope, then slowly dims over weeks or months. Behind that short burst of light sits a ...

The first pulsar was discovered in 1967 by Jocelyn Bell Burnell. Finding these mysterious signals forever changed astronomy.

A Texas Tech Assistant Astronomy Professor, Elias Aydi, along with other astronomers, used a cutting-edge technique to ...

Stellar astronomy and planetary systems form a cornerstone of astrophysical research, uniting our understanding of the life cycles of stars with the intricate architecture of the systems that form ...

Learn how new high-resolution images of two nova eruptions offer fresh insight into how these stellar explosions release ...

Subtle variations in the star’s brightness suggest it once collided and merged with another star, an explosive event that left it spinning rapidly. It now orbits a quiet black hole in the Gaia BH2 ...

They’re bright and blue — and a bit strange. They’re a new type of stellar explosion that was recently discovered by a team of astronomers led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have clocked the fastest wind yet discovered blowing off a disk around a stellar-mass black hole. This result has important implications for ...
