Astronomers are once again getting excited about a rare nova that could appear in the night sky anytime from now into the ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or 'hot Jupiters,' astronomers can spend months or years ...

T Coronae Borealis, a binary star system about 3,000 light years away, is usually far too dim to see with the naked eye.

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called ...

Dense cosmic objects like neutron stars and white dwarfs may decay faster than previously thought, challenging predictions.

However, scientists generally think it would take less than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ...

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are ...

The show centred around Scouse technician Dave Lister who wakes up following three million years in suspended animation to ...

Scientists have just calculated that our universe will end much sooner than previously thought—although "soon" is still an ...

The universe is poised to die much faster than previously thought, according to new research by Dutch scientists.
