Astronomers have observed what they believe is a triple-star system in space surrounded by a chaotic disc of dust that could form planets. The stars orbit each other and the dust disc is shredded in ...

Last year, scientists discovered a mathematically perfect star system — and now, they’re looking into whether it might contain signs of alien tech. All the same, scientists aren’t done looking, and as ...

Space enthusiasts, thank your lucky stars. Astronomers expect that this year you'll be able to see the explosion of a star system in our Milky Way galaxy by simply looking up at the sky. Yes, we know ...

A European spacecraft has revealed the secrets of a star system that has puzzled researchers for years. The rare six sextuplet of planets was found thanks to data collected by Cheops — the ...

Astronomers at the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab made the first confirmed detection of a star system that will one day form a kilonova, an ultra-powerful and gold-producing explosion created ...

Mark your calendars because sometime around 2083 a star as bright as Sirius will suddenly appear in the night sky. Based on 130 years of telescopic photographs, astronomers Bradley E. Schaefer, Juhan ...
