Medicine & TechnologyThree of NASA's Great Observatories captured an image of Cassiopeia A at three different wavebands, which gave a colorful photo of the supernova remnant in 2005. NASA shared its photo again on its Instagram account.
A star, formally labeled as LP 40-365 has recently been spotted moving extraordinarily fast. An astronomy assistant professor described this as moving so fast that it nearly leaves the Milky Way.
A team of astrophysicists used new models of neutron stars and showed that their tallest mountains could only be millimeters tall due to the huge gravity on the ultra-dense objects.
What are Gamma-ray bursts? Scientists believe that these ultrabright flashes could hold the secrets of the origin of the universe and they are eager to find where these beams come from.
Astronomers have recently made an unusual sighting of a pair of stellar spiraling to their doom by identifying the revealing signs of a teardrop-shaped star.
Chinese scientists have made a new discovery that challenges classical physical theories that point to the Crab Nebula having a super electron accelerator. It is so powerful that scientists could not believe it exists.
The latest update from the supernova MSH 15-52 was recorded to be a ghost hand as it touches the collective gas formation RCW 89 just inside the Milky Way galaxy.
A new study describes a possible new kind of star in an occurrence usually linked to destruction, instead of a creation or also known in the field of astronomy as "the merger of two white dwarfs."
The Hubble Space Telescope captured the shock wave of a supernova explosion that occurred thousands of years ago. The Cygnus supernova blast is also expected to leave behind a remnant about 15 times the size of the Sun, about the size of a neutron star.
