Remember that new object COW, named for a strange supernova? We’ve seen four more of these Fast Blue Optical Transients, and new research may even have figured out just how and why they occur
Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has determined that the newly discovered companion of a star that went supernova had its outer hydrogen layer siphoned off before the explosion. The results support the theory that massive stars generally form and evolve as binary systems
Baby stars form when thick clouds of gas and dust fall into themselves or collapse due to gravity. Not all of the material collapses to form a baby star.
A ninth-magnitude star in our neighborhood of the Milky Way has been found to contain 65 different elements, including large proportions of heavier elements like gold. This star required either a supernova or a neutron star merger to form.
Scientists observing the Manatee Nebula find that the supernova remnant contains a stellar-mass black hole that is emitting powerful, high-energy jets, creating the strange, double-lobed shape.
Time for your June sky guide and news round up with @AwesomeAstroPod. This month we have A companion star that survived a supernova, dark matter stripped away in galaxies, and of course the image of Sagittarius A*.
A forensic analysis of the element concentration found in the Hypatia stone finds evidence in the cometary fragment, which may have impacted Earth 28 million years ago, of a supernova origin story
Today @CheapAstro is about time and timing. What is time made of? Is Betelguese about to blow? Find the answers at #365DaysOfAstro
It’s time for October skyguide and news round-up session with @AwesomeAstroPod. Today we have mysterious case of missing supernova, volcanoes on Venus,and
This week we’re going to talk about famous stars. We’re talking about those hot balls of plasma across the distant Universe. #365DyasOfAstro
