Furthermore, the chance of stellar bodies having a binary partner increases with mass, making a double-brown-dwarf star system pretty surprising.

Sky watchers were disappointed last night when a binary star system didn’t erupt in a nova explosion that was predicted to take place on Thursday. But fear not, the famous blaze star is still ...

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Astronomers have been watching a small constellation in the night sky, waiting for a nearby binary star system to explode. The wait may finally be over ...

Both nebulas are the leftover remnants from the last phase of a medium star like our sun. The other small bright bluish ball visible to the left of center in the image is known as Abell 6.

After converging, the binary star system will explode into a Type 1a supernova. Scientists have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarf stars are responsible for creating Type 1a supernovas ...

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 ...

colliding winds in a binary system, and shocked wind in a circumstellar bubble. Melnick 39, also known as Brey 78, was first identified as a WR star in the Tarantula Nebula—a large region of ...
