Astronomers have spotted AT2025ulz, a rare dual explosion — a supernova and a kilonova — that may be the first-ever observed ...

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...

The cosmos has delivered a rare kind of fireworks display, and astronomers are racing to understand what it means. A strange double flash from a distant galaxy appears to show two neutron stars ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although astronomers are still searching for concrete answers, a study published in ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
