Stars

Astronomers just took a big step toward a better understanding of white dwarfs, a discovery that could shed light on mysterious dark matter.

Astronomers modeled sunspot activity on a nearby red giant star to learn about its chaotic interior.

Violent superflares erupt from sun-like stars about once a century, far more frequently than previously expected. As a civilization around such a star, what does this mean for us?

The Zwicky Transient Facility has reached an incredible milestone, classifying over 10,000 supernovas, cosmic explosions that mark the death of massive stars.

Years after the collapse of the Arecebo telescope data from the radio observatory has helped SETI scientists probe the characteristics of pulsars, cosmic lighthouses powered by dead stars.

Scientists used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe a star with a planet-forming disk that gets to absolutely scorching temperatures.

Astronomers explain why the highly-anticipated "guest star" has not appeared in the night sky yet.

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the mystery of dark matter could be wrapped up in 10 seconds.

Astronomers have captured the first zoomed-in image of a star beyond the Milky Way. The historic image reveals a dying behemoth star wrapped in a death shroud of gas about to explode.
