Now, an international team of researchers have detected the first example of planet-induced stellar flaring on a sun-like star about 400 light-years away. Their study is titled "Close-in planet ...

A death-defying star survived destruction by a ravenous supermassive black hole in a tidal disruption event, and came back to ...

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv ...

A new discovery challenges the previously accepted understanding of how stars interact with black holes. While it’s often said that lightning never strikes the same place twice, black holes seem to ...

The term for this gruesome process is actually " spaghettification ," according to NASA, inspired by Stephen Hawking's book, ...

Astronomers confirmed the first case of a star surviving a black hole encounter, challenging long-held beliefs about tidal disruption events.

Using the European Space Agency’s Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) telescope, a team of astronomers ...

They then continued for more than three months after. The flares were as bright as the initial explosion and emitted energetic bursts of X-rays, radio waves and red visible light. "Supernovae, they ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977 and traveling for nearly 50 years, has not yet traveled the distance light covers in one day.

The key is catching the signal early. The telltale radioactive light peaks just 10 to 15 minutes after a flare—so fast response is critical.

Astronomers Witness A Dead Star Flare Back to Life Bizarre flashes of light from a distant galaxy could help solve the mystery behind cosmic events called luminous, fast blue optical transients.

Images Using observations from ESO’s VLT, astronomers were able for the first time to reconstruct the site of a flare on a solar-like star located 150 light years away.
