ASASSN-24fw is a star a little bigger and heavier than our Sun. It is an F-type, main-sequence star which means it is hot, bright, and stable and not prone to sudden explosions ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

A “disappearing” star in the Andromeda galaxy is the closest and best candidate for a newborn black hole that astronomers have ever seen ...

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed as the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed ...

Astronomers have watched a dying star fail to explode as a supernova, instead collapsing into a black hole. The remarkable sighting is the most complete observational record ever made of a star's ...

Scientists sifting through archival data captured by NASA's former NEOWISE mission found an unusual star that quickly disappeared, fading to nothing ...

A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on itself and formed a black hole.

According to a leading theory, black holes form when massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, triggering an explosive ...

A watched pot never boils and love happens when you least expect it -- turns out, the same logic applies to capturing a star ...

Euclid uses a method called 'step-and-stare to scan the night sky, which allows it to combine a bunch of separate measurements to form a larger image. Ultimately, scientists believe this will yield ...

JWST organic molecules in IRAS 07251-0248 reveal rich hydrocarbons, dust and water ice, reshaping life-precursor chemistry !!

How space telescopes capture distant galaxies using infrared imaging, precision optics, and astronomy technology beyond Earth ...
