When observing our closest neighbouring stars, astronomers quickly realised that our Sun stands out from its peers of similar age, possessing a notably greater metallicity.
Transients are a broad class of events, referring to observations where some measurable change occurs, typically in brightness, over relatively short timescales.
It is not quite understood why we are able to observe supermassive black holes (SMBHs) early in our universe’s history. Leading theories can be separated into two camps.
A group of astronomers based at the University of Arizona, Tucson have used NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes for a detailed look at the debris disk that surrounds Vega, spanning nearly 100 billion miles in di
A study by researchers at DTU space have discovered one of the fastest rotating neutron stars ever observed, with a rapid rotation rate of 716 times per second.
Once a star has exhausted the nuclear fuel available in its core, it can no longer exert the necessary outward pressure to counteract the gravitational pressure from its own mass.
