An international research team announces the discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting a binary star system. Named HD 143811 b, ...

Since the third Gaia data release in 2022, wide binary stars with separation greater than several thousand astronomical units ...

Astronomers may finally understand why planets orbiting two suns, the real-world equivalents of the "Star Wars" planet Tatooine, are so scarce in our galaxy — and it has to do with general relativity.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a binary star system, two stars orbit around each other. ESO/L. Calçada, CC BY Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question. A team of international ...

Is it a two-for-sun deal. Astronomers were blown away after discovering a bizarre exoplanet that orbits twin stars closer than any ever seen before in a binary star system, per a starry study ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

An international team of researchers led by PD Dr Florian Peißker has found the first binary star in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* (Sagittarius A star) at the centre of ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and if you look more broadly, groups of stars make up huge structures such as ...
