Using the Hubble and Gaia space telescopes, astronomers have discovered that a powerfully magnetic neutron star in the Milky Way wasn't born in a supernova.
In 23 billion years, these two white dwarf stars will collide. Then, they'll explore. Here's why scientists say this discovery is such a big deal.
Scientists are probing stellar "quakes" to understand what lies beneath the surface of a star's body.
The nova is ignited when a "vampirific" white dwarf steals too much matter from a companion star.
The cosmic pinwheel that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once thought.
Astronomers have discovered that many infant stars born in stellar nurseries of the early universe may have preferred "fluffy" stellar blankets.
A flash of X-ray light has revealed the existence of an odd couple of stars, a massive star and a white dwarf, that shouldn't really exist together.
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to study a planet-forming disk around a low-mass star, finding it contains chemical signatures never seen before in such a disk.
The European Space Agency's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has identified what's causing mysterious lights in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field of an infant star from the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around it.
