According to a consensus growing in the international scientific community, it would appear that planetary nebulae may in fact be shaped up by binary star systems accompanying them. However, proving this is a very complex task. Astronomers became interested in researching the shapes of these nebulae when they noticed... |

According to the conclusions of a new scientific research, it would appear that the surface of extra solar planets orbiting binary star system may be covered in trees that are black, rather than the usual green.This is equally true for all forms of vegetation, the researchers who conducted the new work say. They expl... |

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), in Chile, have recently discovered a double star system, which appears to be housing a “vampire” star. The peculiar formation became visible to telescopes in 2000, after the star underwent an outburst that ... |

Supernovae are the huge explosions that accompany the end of a massive star's burning cycle. When the detonations occur, the outer layers over the former core are violently thrown away, and the core itself may collapse into a black hole, or into a neutron star, or simply a small, helium-based star, known as a wh... |

A peculiar star system, that astronomers named HD 87643, has recently been imaged as being involved in creating its own nebula. The cosmic formation is believed to be generated by the vast amounts of gas that the star at the center of the system emits, which is trapped in its general vicinity. In charge of the new ob... |
