Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has provided some of the clearest views of the Egg Nebula, a stunning cosmic structure located about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Published on ...

Nuclear astrophysics plays a pivotal role in informing our understanding of stellar evolution by investigating the nuclear reactions within stars that dictate their birth, evolution, and ultimate fate ...

Astronomers have discovered how "forever young" stars stay blue and bright despite being almost as old as the universe.

If confirmed, this disappearing act might provide the closest and best observational evidence for the birth of a black hole ...

Orion Nebula, Pleiades and Hyades: The latest research results indicate that these famous star clusters represent the different phases of life of one and the same star system. A team of ...

NASA and the ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an incredible image of the Egg Nebula, providing astronomers with rare ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

In the early 1960s, Dutch astronomer Adriaan Blaauw observed stars moving at unusually high speeds moving through the Milky ...

One of the best places to study stars is inside “open clusters”, which are groups of stars that formed together from the same material and are bound together through gravity. Open clusters act as ...

Aging stars can completely destroy their planets. When a star reaches the end of its life on the main sequence, it goes ...

This image from the ALMA telescope shows star system HD101584 and the complex gas clouds surrounding the binary. It is the result of a pair of stars sharing a common outer layer during their last ...
