NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will map the Milky Way using infrared observations, studying star formation, stellar evolution, star clusters, and hidden galactic structures over a two-year survey.

Nuclear astrophysics plays a pivotal role in informing our understanding of stellar evolution by investigating the nuclear reactions within stars that dictate their birth, evolution, and ultimate fate ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

Scientists have detected the first direct evidence of a coronal mass ejection from a star beyond our Sun, specifically the M dwarf StKM1-1262. This ma ...

One of the best places to study stars is inside “open clusters”, which are groups of stars that formed together from the same material and are bound together through gravity. Open clusters act as ...

Stars don't just shine — they hum with hidden vibrations. Like earthquakes, ripples of gas on a star's surface — referred to as stellar quakes — offer clues about what lies beneath. And now, ...

XRISM’s high-precision X-ray data revealed unusually strong signatures of chlorine and potassium inside the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. These levels are far higher than theoretical models ...

SN2021yfj is a new kind of supernova, challenging our understanding of stellar evolution. Its progenitor lost its outer shells well before the supernova happened and only consisted of its ...

"Stellar quakes happen in most stars that have a bubbling outer layer, like a pot of boiling water." Stars don't just shine — they hum with hidden vibrations. Like earthquakes, ripples of gas on a ...
