The nebula was first discovered in 1993. Since then, scientists have determined that the pulsar is rotating at around 3.6 million mph (5.76 km/h). As a result, it is also shooting out a giant ...

Astronomers from the University of Turku have detected quasi-periodic oscillations in an X-ray binary, XTE J0111.2−7317, ...

Astronomers have discovered the "missing link" connecting the death of sunlike stars to the birth of white dwarf stellar ...

Pulsars, the dense cores of collapsed stars, could potentially have tiny mountains on their surfaces, challenging our current ...

NASA’s Webb telescope reveals monster star clumps in galactic wreckage Surveying luminous infrared galaxies in the local universe, astronomers have obtained a rare glimpse into processes shaping ...

Credit: NASA Using images from a NASA telescope, three amateur scientists discovered a star-like object sprinting through space — so fast, in fact, it'll whiz right out of the Milky Way.

An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.

On June 13, 2024, astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) detected an extraordinarily brief flash of radio waves, lasting less than 30 nanoseconds and peaking at ...
