V404 Cygni, one of the first confirmed black holes, is actually part of a triple star system, a surprising configuration that ...

While solitary black holes should be common, they are hard to find. The one in Sagittarius revealed itself when it passed in front of a dim background star, magnifying the star’s light and slowly ...

A new paper provides scientists with a groundbreaking tool for understanding cataclysmic events. Physicist Glennys Farrar has ...

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the cosmos, may help provide a piece of the puzzle when it ...

This paper reports the discovery of a high-velocity star J07 ejected from globular cluster M15 approximately 21 million years ...

A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry, a technique used to measure gravitational waves. By the time they reach ...

We all know that black holes can devour stars, rip them apart and consume their remnants. But that only happens if a star ...

Although we know that supermassive black holes (millions of times the mass of our sun) lurk at the center of most galaxies, ...

Highly magnetic neutron star is wandering our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have tracked ...

A new discovery has surfaced, wherein the first-ever solitary black hole has been revealed in the Sagittarius constellation.

This kind of reconstruction allows astronomers to look at how binary stars evolve and how large stars become black holes or neutron stars. By using this method on other systems, we should be able to ...
