Astronomers have long wondered why there are so many hydrogen-poor supernovae in the universe. Hidden stars could provide the answer.

The discovery of stars with their outer layers of hydrogen stripped by companions fills a glaring hole in our understanding of supernovas and binary systems with colliding neutron stars.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped an incredible image of an astronomical object 11 billion years old and is located 157,000 light years from Earth.

It is thousands of times more dense than our corner of the Milky Way Galaxy.

No one has ever seen a newborn star feeding on its natal disk anywhere outside our galaxy—that is, until now

Hubble has captured its first image of NGC 2210, a global cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud that is 11.6 billion years old.

This striking Hubble Space Telescope image shows the densely packed globular cluster known as NGC 2210, which is situated in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

An ancient red giant star spiraling in toward our galaxy's central black hole likely came from another galaxy that was consumed by ours.
