Kishalay De, an alumnus of St James’ School and currently at Columbia University, has helped solve the mystery, showing that the star collapsed directly into a black hole — without the usual supernova ...

One of the brightest stars in the Andromeda galaxy quietly collapsed into a black hole without any of the fanfare of a spectacular supernova. What makes this startling discovery even more remarkable ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

It is easy to observe when stars explode in a supernova and become a black hole. It is different when they simply collapse.

It’s Valentine’s weekend in Pottsville, and while in my opinion this is one of those holidays driven by greeting card companies, restaurants, flower shops, and more. It’s still a wonderful holiday ...
