Dark matter remains one of science's deepest mysteries. It makes up about 25% of our universe, yet scientists only observe its gravitational effects. Although invisible, researchers continue searching ...

Are Sun-like stars the only stars where Earth-like worlds exist? This is what a recent study presented this morning at the 2026 meeting of the American Astronomical Society hopes to address as a team ...

An international team of astronomers led by Dr Iris de Ruiter, now at the University of Sydney, has shown that a white dwarf and a red dwarf star orbiting each other every two hours are emitting radio ...

The days are numbered for two newly discovered dead stars locked in a spinning spiral of doom that will eventually lead to a catastrophic collision that triggers a supernova explosion, astronomers say ...

This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

For all the talk about life across the cosmos, Earth remains the only confirmed example. That single data point makes your place in the universe feel both ordinary and strange. Two facts sharpen the ...

Could dying stars hold the secret to looking younger? New evidence from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope suggests that white dwarf stars could continue to burn hydrogen in the final stages of their lives ...

That thinning likely resulted from two stars merging and burning off outer layers during the collision. This rare white dwarf merger left a stripped remnant with a nearly pure hydrogen atmosphere yet ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...
