Sanchez at the National Observatory of Athens, published in Nature Astronomy today, argues that the enormous star WOH G64 has transitioned from a red supergiant to a rare yellow hypergiant in what may ...

This is a massive star that exploded 35,000 years ago, and the deep-sky image just won an award – a first in the prestigious competition ...

Their research was guided by a prediction from the 1970s: if a star collapses directly into a black hole, it should briefly glow in infrared light as it sheds its outer layers and becomes wrapped in ...

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s ...

A “disappearing” star in the Andromeda galaxy is the closest and best candidate for a newborn black hole that astronomers have ever seen ...

A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on itself and formed a black hole.

The formation of a black hole can be quite a violent event, with a massive dying star blowing up and some of its remnants collapsing to form an exceptionally dense object with gravity so strong not ...
