Learn how gravity and mass are pulling two stars into tighter, faster orbit around each other, with an explosive collision inevitable. In this picture, we capture the binary in the moment where the ...

Last year, gravitational wave detectors triggered on what may have been a collision involving a sub-solar-mass neutron star.

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare, high mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light years away. These two stars are on a collision course to explode as a type 1a supernova, appearing ...
