"Black holes are not as destructive as we thought. It seems plausible that the detection of planets in the galactic center is just a matter of time." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

Stars in binaries with black holes usually suffer gruesome fates, but two newly discovered systems hint at a survival mechanism. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of the R Aquarii binary star system from 2014-2023. The images have been time ...

What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team ...

The Kuiper Belt object Altjira was thought to be a binary, but closer analysis suggests that it is highly likely to be a triple system This raises the question of the three-body problem; if Altjira ...

Excitement builds as T Coronae Borealis explosion eminent The binary star system is expected to "go Nova" within the next few weeks or months - creating a once-in-a-lifetime stellar event. NASA ...

Marco Ajello receives funding from NASA and NSF. Jonathan Zrake receives funding from NASA and NSF. Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from ...

New research suggests that a binary pair of Kuiper Belt objects, known as the Altjira system, is actually made up of three separate bodies orbiting one another in a complex triad. This rare orbital ...
