Astronomers have discovered the "missing link" connecting the death of sunlike stars to the birth of white dwarf stellar ...

Astronomers have found a remarkable pair of stars that may finally prove a long-debated theory. Described in the journal Nature Astronomy, this duo offers the strongest evidence yet that type 1a ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever visual evidence of awhite dwarf star exploding twice in a remarkable supernova event ...

Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star, or the burnt core of a dead star, that has two completely different faces. One is made of hydrogen, while the other is made of helium.

Scientists have discovered that some "dead" white dwarf stars hide a metaphorical fountain of youth beneath their skin that helps them delay their cooling processes. Skip to main content.

Astronomers have discovered an unusual blue-tinted white dwarf star with two distinct "faces": one side is hydrogen and the other side is helium, according to a new paper published in the journal ...

Our Sun will become a white dwarf in about 7 billion years. At that point, it will no longer produce energy through nuclear fusion, having exhausted its fuel (hydrogen and helium). Just like the ...

"If this scenario is correct, this white dwarf is right at the turn-around point, and we may see it get further away." Astronomers plan to keep their eye on this curious black hole, located in ...

Astronomers have discovered a freezing-cold world orbiting within the so-called "forbidden zone" around a dying star in which planets are normally destroyed. The 5.8-billion-year-old white dwarf ...

Astronomers spotted a potential Earth-size rocky world orbiting a white dwarf, suggesting a future in which our planet outlives its star. By Jonathan O’Callaghan In six billion years the sun ...
