Scientists working with material collected from asteroid Bennu have found a sticky, gum-like organic substance never before ...

Once charted as a 'guest star' in ancient China, dreaded as a harbinger of ill omens in medieval Europe, and preserved in the ...

But one massive star, hundreds of times heavier than our Sun, self-destructed so catastrophically that it left behind no ...

Researchers leverage a multiangle simulations approach to elucidate the roles of neutrino fast flavor conversion affects core ...

An international team analyzed data from NASA's Fermi space telescope and detected gamma rays from a rare and exceptionally ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

Earth is quietly collecting radioactive debris from an ancient stellar explosion as our Solar System drifts through a giant cloud of gas and dust between the stars. Scientists analyzing Antarctic ice ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

NASA’s Fermi telescope may have finally uncovered the magnetic powerhouse behind the universe’s brightest supernovae.

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...
