Today, I want to share with you a stunning astronomical discovery! The research team at the Purple Mountain Observatory has ...

Creating a neutron star Before you can get this ideal cosmic laboratory, a star first has to die. The end of a star’s life depends largely on its mass. Unremarkable stars like the Sun go out with a ...

Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...
