When the fuel supply for nuclear fusion in their cores is exhausted, stars of all sizes collapse under their own gravity and die to form a dense cosmic… Read More »
Scientists directly imaged eight faint objects, including “failed stars,” also known as brown dwarfs, that accompany very bright stars in the Gaia data catalogue. Stars and their companions were first identified from the millions of stars in the Gaia catalogue. They were thought to be ideal for follow-up surveys with the ground-based GRAVITY instrument, an… Read More »
If you were attacked by a greedy vampire star or risked falling into two dueling black holes, you’d probably run away too! One of these terrifying scenarios is likely responsible for sending a low-mass star across the Milky Way at a staggering million miles per hour (1.6 million kilometers per hour).

The secrets of supernova star explosions may be hidden in dust scattered across the moon, and a team of scientists from the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) has developed a new way to uncover these clues of star death. The research could help scientists get a clearer picture of how stars die and provide… Read More »
