Bad Bunny makes a ‘political statement’ as Puerto Rico residency begins A year after Trump's near-assassination, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man Denver museum discovers nearly ...

In an unprecedented astronomical discovery, two neutron stars were seen colliding for the first time. The collision created gravitational waves, light and heavy elements like gold and platinum.

One of two things happens when neutron stars collide: they merge together to form a new, larger neutron star, or they collapse into a black hole. But which happens when? That leads to another ...

A collision of neutron stars was spotted with gravitational waves for the first time. Telescopes captured gamma rays, visible light and more from the smashup.

Kilonova explosions created when neutron stars collide and merge are perfectly spherical, not flattened discs as previously expected, a new study suggests.

When neutron stars collide, heavy elements like gold can be forged in the extremely violent aftermath. But what else can 3D simulations of the event show us?

According to a study, a neutron-star collision that occurred approximately 80 million years before the birth of our solar system produced an ample amount of gold, uranium, and other heavy elements ...

A kilonova, or kilonovae in the plural form, is the explosive result of two neutron stars colliding, and the researchers are exploring the almost perfectly spherical shape of the kilonova. This study ...

The collision of neutron stars is an opportunity to see what is inside these incredible objects Astronomers can for the first time detect the smashing together of dead suns known as neutron stars ...

Neutron stars have a very small size, at around 6 miles across, but hold more mass than the entire sun. So when two neutron stars collide and merge into each, the result is explosive.

When stars collapse, they can leave behind incredibly dense but relatively small and cold remnants called neutron stars. If two stars collapse in close proximity, the leftover binary neutron stars ...
