The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than the familiar one by which most systems grow ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

Using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a gamma-ray binary system known as PSR ...

How boxing scoring works using the 10-Point Must System. Covers judges' criteria, knockdown rules, and how fights are won.

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

Radio pulses repeating every minute-to-hour have puzzled astronomers, but a new paper in Nature Astronomy might finally shed some light.

How does pity work in Arknights Endfield? If you're jumping into Hypergryph's RPG for the first time, especially coming from the Hoyoverse games or Wuthering Waves, you've probably discovered that the ...

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...
