Scientists uncover the relic at the heart of Supernova 1987A that has been hidden for over 30 years

Unlike most stellar explosions that fade away, Supernova SN 2012au continues to shine today thanks to a powerful new pulsar

It is expected many more magnified stars will be discovered when the upcoming James Webb Telescope becomes operational

A recent NASA study suggests that there may be another explanation for patterns in disks of dust and gas around young stars

Berkeley Lab scientists play key role in explaining a historic discovery

Low-mass stars are always born with a sibling, but many, like our sun, split up

ALMA's high sensitivity for detecting polarized radio waves made possible this important step in tracing the formation of planets around young stars

The orbit of such a planet had been expected to be unstable, probably resulting in the planet being quickly ejected from the system, but somehow this one survives

Led by Lehigh University professor Joshua Pepper, the team includes nearly 40 members in 10 countries across 4 continents

From a distance, these carbon planets would be difficult to tell apart from more Earth-like worlds. Their masses and physical sizes would be similar
