Astronomers have found a missing link in the evolutionary progressing of colliding neutron stars, in the form of stripped, intermediate-mass helium stars.

Itll be years before JUICE reaches its target, but instrument commissioning produced a surprisingly cool image.

UVS is the fifth instrument in a series of spectrographs developed by SwRI for spacecraft, including ESA’s Rosetta comet orbiter.

Astronomers have observed the Tarantula Nebula at the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud, finding that powerful magnetic fields ensure its survival and regulate star birth.

Betelgeuse, a red supergiant, has been getting brighter over the last few months, leading scientists to suggest it may explode sooner than expected.

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new star cluster (SC) as part of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. The newfound cluster, designated DELVE 6, is ultra-faint, metal-poor and is estimated to be about 9 billion years old. The finding was detailed in a paper published June 7 on the pre-print server arXiv.

Powerful magnetic fields in the Tarantula Nebula prevent the region of the Large Magellanic Cloud from collapsing.

The Tarantula Nebula is a star formation region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Tarantula is about 160,000 light-years away and is highly luminous for a non-stellar object. Its the brightest and largest star formation region in the entire Local Group of galaxies.
