On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

Internationally-vetted data suggests we've witnessed a rare intermediate-mass black hole devouring a white dwarf along the outskirts of a distant galaxy.

Cosmic relationships in space mirror human connections, with some stars locked in destructive, codependent partnerships.

Dustin Swarm, an astrophysicist and assistant professor at the University of Iowa, recently helped capture the first X-ray view of a white dwarf star. Swarm, in collaboration with MIT, studied the ...

The image shared by NASA shows a dense, opaque cloud which is concealing the star.
