This may be the daughter of one of our universe’s 1st stars. Scientists call it an ‘ancient immigrant’
The star is escaping the Large Magellanic Cloud for the Milky Way.
Dozens of hidden star streams found in the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy
Astronomers discovered dozens of stellar streams in the Milky Way using Gaia data, offering new clues about galaxy formation and dark matter.
Pulsars to the extreme: Spinning dead stars found blasting radio signals from the ‘edge of their magnetic reach’
Astronomers have discovered that rapidly spinning extreme dead stars or pulsars push it to the edge, blasting out radio signals from their extremities.
Scientists finally solve century-old mystery of star with unexpected X-ray emissions
Astronomers have used the XRISM X-ray spacecraft to discover a star being devoured by a stellar companion, solving a mystery that has baffled scientists for over 100 years.
Scientists find 2 ‘failed stars’ that may have a second chance to shine bright — by getting together
"Failed star" brown dwarfs may get a second chance to shine by colliding and merging to birth a new star.
‘At the edge of what we thought possible’: Astronomers find extremely rare star from ancient universe
"Cosmic archaeologists" have discovered an iron-deficient second-generation star, which provides evidence of how ancient stars enriched their successors.
Deep underground, a telescope may soon detect ghosts of stars that died before Earth existed
With the help of an extremely powerful telescope deep underground in Japan, astronomers may be able to catch a glimpse of ghost particles from long-dead stars.
A state of matter last seen just after the Big Bang may exist inside neutron stars — and scientists think they can prove it
As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.
Why are some stars always visible while others come and go with the seasons?
So, why is it that Orion is not always visible in the night sky, and certainly not in the same location month after month, while the Big Dipper always is?
Hubble and NASA space telescopes track ‘game-changing’ gamma-ray burst back to neutron star collision in ‘forbidden’ region of the universe
Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.
