Astronomers have uncovered what appear to be 21 neutron stars in orbit around stars like our Sun. The discovery is surprising because it is not clear how a star that exploded winds up next to a star ...
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists have believed for 45 years: that stars switch their ...
Our sun regularly shoots out solar flares — explosions of light and radiation from its surface — into space. But how about superflares? These stellar events are thousands of times more powerful than ...

Earlier this year, Earth experienced two geomagnetic storms caused by outbursts of radiation from the Sun, which had an impact on satellites in space and communication systems on the ground. As it ...
Most stars in our universe come in pairs. While our own sun is a loner, many stars like our sun orbit similar stars, while a host of other exotic pairings between stars and cosmic orbs pepper the ...
An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the first time directly detected stellar winds from three Sun-like stars by recording the X-ray emission from ...
