The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a very detailed image of the bulge globular cluster NGC 6638.
This Hubble image shows the bulge metal-rich...
PSR J0952-0607, a so-called millisecond pulsar, has shredded and consumed nearly the entire mass of its stellar companion and, in the process, grown into...
Zeta Ophiuchi is a very massive, hot, bright blue star that once had a companion that exploded as a supernova.
Zeta Ophiuchi was once in close orbit with...
TIC 470710327, a massive, compact hierarchical triple-star system recently identified by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), was originally...
The newly-detected black hole is a member of the binary system VFTS 243, which is located in the famous Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
This...
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured the distinct signature of water, along with evidence for clouds and haze, in the atmosphere surrounding...
The new image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provides a detailed look at Terzan 2, a globular cluster located in the constellation of Scorpius.
