Around 37,000 citizen scientists combed through 430,000 images to help an international team of researchers to discover 29 new gravitational lens candidates thr...
Hubble zooms in on shrapnel from an exploded star
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled in stunning detail a small section of the expanding remains of a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago. Ca...
Hot, dense material surrounds O-type star with largest magnetic field known
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
Observations using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory revealed that the unusually large magnetosphere around an O-type star called NGC 1624-2 contains a raging st...
Radio telescopes could spot stars hidden in the galactic center
Sep 23, 2015 (SPX)
The center of our Milky Way galaxy is a mysterious place. Not only is it thousands of light-years away, it's also cloaked in so much dust that most stars within...
