A team led by Tomas Stolker has discovered a young gas giant exoplanet orbiting a 12-million-year-old star, while its same-aged companion star still hosts a planet-forming disk.

Can a star die twice? Scientists spot rare cosmic ‘double detonation’ Scientists at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have tracked the first-ever visual proof of double detonations in white ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times the mass of our sun that exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a core ...

Cataclysmic variable stars sporadically increase in brightness by large amounts before dropping back to normal levels. They are compact binary star systems, consisting of a white dwarf star stealing ...

For the first time, astronomers have captured stunning visual evidence of a star double-detonating itself to death. The twin eruption was discovered by scientists studying two concentric rings of ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times the mass of our sun that exhausts its nuclear ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European ...

This is the first evidence for a white dwarf exploding not once, but twice. The discovery could shed new light on how some supernovae work.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope captured the expanding remains of a star that exploded hundreds of years ago in a double detonation – the first photographic evidence ...
