Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

Astronomers have discovered a carbon-rich exoplanet with a bizarre atmosphere and shape, orbiting a neutron star under extreme conditions that challenge current models of planetary formation. Scientis ...

In a strange turn of events, a supernova birthed twin baby neutron stars that merged to make a powerful kilonova.

Imagine waking up one morning to find our Sun replaced by a cosmic powerhouse far stranger than anything we have seen. From giants that could swallow planets whole to stars so dense they bend reality, ...

A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, challenging astronomers to rethink how neutron stars are born and collide.

Astronomers tracked a decade of dramatic changes in P13, a neutron star undergoing supercritical accretion. Its X-ray ...

If you approached a neutron star, you would be instantly crushed by gravity and fried by X-rays, while your very atoms would be torn apart by magnetic fields and gravity – making you a splattered ...
