White dwarfs are the final stop for stars that aren’t massive enough to go out in a supernova. Think of them as the ...

White dwarf stars represent the final evolutionary stage for the majority of stars, including those similar to our Sun. These compact remnants, composed largely of electron-degenerate matter, are ...

Observations of nearby red dwarf stars reveal rare carbon and oxygen isotopes, offering direct evidence of stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of the Milky Way.

Astronomers found that a 3-billion-year-old white dwarf, LSPM J0207+3331, is still feasting on the metal-rich remains of a shattered world. (CREDIT: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Scott Wiessinger ...

For the first time, the famous “spirograph” Planetary Nebula IC418’s non-explosive stellar evolution has been captured over an unprecedented period of 130 years—almost double the length of a typical ...

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The newly discovered structure exhibits ...

Astronomers recently peered deep into space and found that an old, faint white dwarf named LSPM J0207+3331, located about 145 light-years away, is still consuming the rocky remains of its former ...
