This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features Arp 72, a very selective galaxy group that only includes two galaxies interacting due to gravity: NGC 5996 (the large spiral galaxy) and NGC 5994 (its smaller companion, in the lower left of the image). Both galaxies lie approximately 160 million light-years from Earth, and their […]

Astronomers found an extremely metal-poor star in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It shows how different star-forming environments can be.

"This star provides a unique window into the very early element-forming process in galaxies other than our own."

Scientists have discovered that the hottest and brightest stars in the cosmos, blue supergiants, are created when two smaller stars spiral together and merge, new research suggests.

Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery about the existence of the massive and hot blue supergiants.

The hottest and brightest stars in the cosmos, blue supergiants, are created when two smaller stars spiral together and merge, a new study suggests.

"Mergers may be the dominant channel to produce blue supergiants," astrophysicist Danny Lennon said.

A search for the first stars that winked into existence at the dawn of the Universe has yielded one of the oldest stars we've found yet, right next door to our own galaxy.
