A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown mini-galaxy leftover from an ancient cosmic crash. The "collision within a collision" ...

Astronomers have detected a neutron star collision in an unexpected place, deep within a tiny, faint galaxy. Located about ...

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...

Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, astronomers have traced a short-duration gamma-ray burst event called GRB 230906A to a faint dwarf galaxy embedded in a vast stream of ...

Scientists believe this long stream of gas may have formed when several galaxies collided millions of years ago.

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge ...

The Universe is a very violent place, and one truly gets a sense of that when looking at short gamma-ray bursts (GRB). That would be intense and brief explosions in space that last just about two ...

Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...
