Using NASA's Kepler space telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a binary star system known as KIC 5623923. As a result ...

Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of the R Aquarii binary star system from 2014-2023. The images have been time ...

Ilkham Galiullin, Head of the Laboratory of X-Ray Sources of Space Radiation and Senior Lecturer of the Department of Astronomy and Space Geodesy, and his colleagues from Caltech and the University of ...

Stars in binaries with black holes usually suffer gruesome fates, but two newly discovered systems hint at a survival mechanism. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

"Black holes are not as destructive as we thought. It seems plausible that the detection of planets in the galactic center is just a matter of time." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

A team of astronomers from The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and other universities have captured the first direct image of a young binary ...

The Kuiper Belt object Altjira was thought to be a binary, but closer analysis suggests that it is highly likely to be a triple system This raises the question of the three-body problem; if Altjira ...

Marco Ajello receives funding from NASA and NSF. Jonathan Zrake receives funding from NASA and NSF. Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...
