Astronomers capture first image of a white dwarf exploding twice in space Rare double-detonation seen in supernova remnant ...

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

Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” ...

In other cases, another member of the system will go on to form a second white dwarf. If gravitational instabilities bring ...

Astronomers have spotted two hefty white dwarf stars - highly compact stellar embers - orbiting close together that appear destined to die in an extraordinarily violent quadruple detonation.

Kepler-62 currently hosts five known exoplanets, with two of them orbiting within its star’s habitable zone. Additionally, while Kepler-62 is still demonstrating nuclear fusion, like our Sun, white ...

The true nature of dark energy is still being debated, but the newly observed diversity of white dwarf explosions may lead to a better understanding of the concept. The nearly 4,000 supernovae events ...

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 ...

The researchers estimated that the white dwarf is orbiting the black hole at about 5% the distance that separates Earth from the sun, or a bit under 5 million miles (8 million km).

Though this white dwarf is virtually at the point of no return in terms of its proximity to the supermassive black hole, the MIT team doesn't think that this dead star will fall into the black ...

Zombie white dwarf stars keep their heavy metal exteriors fresh by cannibalizing objects in their dead planetary systems, like comets and asteroids.

The Tyranid Hive Mind has been hard at work cooking up new army detachments, datasheets, and more to fill the first army rulebook of Warhammer 40K's latest version, Codex: Tyranids 10th Edition ...
