Located 15,000 light-years away in a region of the Milky Way brimming with stars, gas and dust, this object could be a highly ...

Technology evolves in predictable life cycle stages, from early experimentation to mass adoption and, eventually, decline. Companies that successfully navigate this cycle know when to scale ...

However, excitement about the nova has grown since astronomers observed the star suddenly dim, per NASA, much as it did right before its previous nova. Why does the star T Coronae ...

On March 11 the STScI announced the latest batch of programs it had chosen for JWST’s next year of observations, Cycle ... end-of-life phase when a sunlike star becomes a white dwarf, but ...

A team of scientists in the US, led by Indian-origin astrophysicist Raga Deepika Pucha, has discovered the largest samples of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies with active black holes.

(2025, February 19). 300 new intermediate-mass black holes plus 2500 new active black holes in dwarf galaxies discovered. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 23, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases ...

A supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) may be the source of nine stars zooming through our galaxy – a surprising hint that dwarf galaxies can host large black holes.

Rather than succumbing to star-shredding tidal forces, such a white dwarf would instead trickle-feed a small fraction of its matter to the black hole. This could offset the orbital energy being ...

White dwarfs are among the most compact objects in the cosmos, though not as dense as a black hole. Stars with up to eight times the mass of our sun appear destined to end up as a white dwarf.

Astronomers theorize that a low-mass white dwarf, a compact core of a dead star about as large as Earth, could be the culprit. A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light ...
