Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per ...

The pulsar designated PSR J0952−0607 is also known as the Black Widow pulsar as it is believed to have reached record-breaking rotational speed and mass by consuming a companion binary star. The ...

The future of yellow dwarf stars, like our sun, is determined almost entirely by their mass. The most massive stars, about eight to 12 times heftier than the sun, can explode as supernovae, leading to ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen ...

Two of the universe’s most extreme objects—black holes and neutron stars—can spiral into cosmic collisions that crack crusts, ...

Astronomers in China have observed a pulsar that becomes partially eclipsed by an orbiting companion star every few hours.

Scientists used 12 different telescopes to unravel the mystery of why an unusual pulsar, or rapidly rotating dead star, constantly changes in brightness. CNN values your feedback 1.

The material that PSR J1023 strips from its companion star forms an accretion disk around the pulsar. This material, full of highly energetic charged particles, is pulled inward by the pulsar’s ...

A large team of astronomers and astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in China has discovered a binary star system, where one of the stars is a millisecond pulsar and the other is ...
