These provide statistical insights into the collisions between the incredibly compact objects that cause them, whether neutron stars or black holes. The new detections have also allowed us to find ...

Their formation has been an object of debate, but new observations confirm the lead hypothesis: they are the product of incredibly bright supernovae. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.

The Gaia telescope spotted more than 6,000 sunlike stars, all of which appear to have migrated from the galaxy's center more ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

Planet 9 project have identified an object traveling at an incredible 1 million miles per hour, fast enough to escape the Milky Way’s gravity. This discovery, detailed in a study published in ...
