The universe is a strange place. The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) orbiting observatory recently highlighted ...

In a startling new observation, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a planet with an atmosphere made almost ...

Astronomers have witnessed a never-seen-before event in observations by ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft – a collision between a pulsar and a ring of gas around a neighbouring star. The rare passage, which ...

About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 ...

JWST found a carbon-atmosphere planet orbiting a pulsar, challenging current models of how planets form. Scientific progress ...

Like anthropologists piecing together the human family tree, astronomers have found that a misfit “skeleton” of a star may link two different kinds of stellar remains. The mysterious object, called ...

Astronomers have unveiled the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever created, offering a sprawling, ...

A radio pulsar is like a cosmic lighthouse, a highly dense, rapidly rotating star that emits beams of radio waves. If Earth ...

Two Thai astronomers have helped discover a new black widow pulsar designated PSR J1544–2555, contributing to international ...

A rapidly spinning neutron star orbits a smaller, helium-rich star very closely. This unique pair formed when a larger star exploded, leaving behind the neutron star which then interacted with its ...

Pulsars are highly magnetised, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation detectable from Earth, while many pulsars coexist in binary systems with companion stars. In these systems, the ...

Manuel Linares is a physicist at NTNU who studies binary stars called "spider pulsars." The stars got this name because they could eat their partner, just like some spiders do. "SpiderCat is a large ...
