The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory and other telescopes. A kilonova is a "the afterglow ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal evolution of these stars, finding that a specific dynamo process within the proto-neutron star can generate these weaker ...

It lies about 20,000 light-years from the Solar System. Thousands of young stars shine within NGC 3603 which is one of the most massive and active star-forming clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The spacecraft’s star trackers are helping guide it to Europa, ensuring a smooth journey to the icy moon. NASA’s Europa Clipper is travelling through space, heading towards Jupiter’s moon ...

A new study using data from NASA's Hubble telescope has revealed that fluctuating stars might be skewing our view of distant planets. The research, led by UCL scientists, found that stars that ...

After NASA made the call to keep its astronauts safe on the ISS because of concerns about Starliner’s thrusters, Nappi was noticeably missing from press conference updates as the spacecraft made ...
