Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

For nearly four decades, Earth has been quietly receiving a repeating radio signal from deep space — one that challenges ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This artist's concepts shows a hypothesized event known as a superkilonova. A massive star explodes in a supernova (left), which ...

Neutron star mergers are among the most extreme events in the Universe. A recent simulation shows that the cataclysm begins well in advance. Indeed, a chaotic ballet of their magnetic fields ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

If you approached a neutron star, you would be instantly crushed by gravity and fried by X-rays, while your very atoms would be torn apart by magnetic fields and gravity – making you a splattered ...
