Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova explosion, have often been the focus of studies aimed at ...

Astronomers from the University of Sydney found a brand new type of neutron star that moves as slowly as a sloth!

Those events are akin to throwing a pebble in a pond, but there are vibrations all the time. Some of them might end up making ...

When some of the biggest stars reach the end of their lives, they explode in spectacular supernovas and leave behind ...

A newly discovered neutron star is behaving so strangely that it may alter our understanding of the dense remains left behind ...

Australian researchers have discovered a dead star that takes hours rather than milliseconds to spin, challenging scientists' understanding of how these stars form.

Nick Hague and Suni Williams spent six hours working on NICER, AMS and other equipment outside the International Space ...

When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...

Gold, a rare and heavy element, originates from cosmic events like neutron star mergers, where the rapid neutron capture process forms heavy elements. Present on Earth since its formation, gold ...

Researchers believe that a supernova in our galaxy could reveal the secrets of dark matter by emitting detectable gamma rays from axions. This discovery would provide key insights into the elusive ...

The two astronauts have a busy day ahead of them. Hague and Williams will "patch light leaks in the NICER X-ray telescope, ...
