Astronomers have traced the origin of a colossal white dwarf to a catastrophic crash between two dead stars, turning a quiet ...

Hubble, now 35 years old, is still the only telescope able to perform such observations. Researchers stress planning for a new ultraviolet observatory to continue this work. That future instrument ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to determine the mass of white dwarf star LAWD 37. It is "56 percent the mass of our ...

Hubble spots white dwarf star 'snacking' on chunk of Pluto-like object. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a white dwarf star devouring a piece of a Pluto-like object. The star is about ...

Hubble has captured a dense, burned-out star in the act of consuming a Pluto-like object. Happening some 260 light years from Earth, the new observation, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

In our nearby stellar neighborhood, a burned-out star is snacking on a fragment of a Pluto-like object. With its unique ultraviolet capability, only NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope could identify that ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova remnant that had not been observed before." When you purchase through links on ...
