Astronomers have spotted pure chaos lurking in the cosmos. Thousands of light years away from Earth, a small yet intensely ...

Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...

That means this neutron star spins 61,902,017 times faster than Earth. It's officially one of the fastest-spinning objects ...

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a neutron star in the Milky Way that rotates at an astonishing 716 times ...

The outward force from its fusion can no longer counteract the star's powerful gravity, and the star collapses in on itself.

For spinning spheres, centrifugal force is maximized at the equator, where the rotational speed is highest. The amount of the ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, ...

An international team of astronomers has conducted a multiwavelength study of an X-ray binary designated 1eRASS ...

Astrophysicists have, for the first time, measured the temperature of elementary particles in the radioactive afterglow of a neutron star collision, which led to the formation of a black hole. This br ...

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

In the expanse of space, where stars burn and galaxies collide, there exists a type of star so strange and powerful that it ...
