Some stars in our galaxy, known as hypervelocity stars, move much faster than most other stars in the Milky Way. In fact, they are traveling so fast that our galaxy's gravity can't hold onto them and ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are celestial bodies moving at speeds sufficient to escape the Milky Way's gravitational pull, with a primary proposed origin involving binary star interactions with the ...

Is it a two-for-sun deal. Astronomers were blown away after discovering a bizarre exoplanet that orbits twin stars closer than any ever seen before in a binary star system, per a starry study ...

The biggest Space Engineers 2 update yet is finally here, and it's about to make the sequel to one of the best sandbox games feel much more like a real product. So far, the early-access alpha version ...

Webb's mid-infrared image shows four coiled shells of dust around a pair of Wolf-Rayet stars known as Apep for the first time (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Science: Yinuo Han (Caltech), Ryan White ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...

Although Joe Smith has always been curious and interested in many things, his desire to learn more led him to join a nonprofit astronomy group when he was a high school freshman. His curiosity about ...

In 2016 billionaire Yuri Milner hosted a press conference at One World Observatory, the atrium topping the slick skyscraper at the center of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex. Milner had grown ...

Stretching across 8 light-years, the rare stellar eruption is about twice the distance between our sun and the next nearest stars. The stellar jet is in the nebula Sharpless 2-284, which contains a ...

A blowtorch of seething gases erupting from a volcanically growing monster star has been captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Stretching across 8 light-years, the length of the stellar ...
