Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

Astronomers have detected a giant exoplanet—between three and ten times the size of Jupiter—hiding in the swirling disk of gas and dust surrounding a young star.

The newly observed binary system features a cataclysmic variable star, designated GOTO0650, which is in a rarely seen late ...

While the overall look and corner curvature appear nearly identical to the Z Fold6, the image supports an earlier rumor about a 200MP main sensor.

A black hole is an object so massive that it warps the fabric of space-time, and its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it.

An artist’s illustration depicts the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. It’s surrounded by a swirling accretion disk of hot gas and dust.

However, the longer and brighter flares are more similar to tidal waves and are caused by more significant events. The minor disturbances within the accretion disk likely generate the faint flickers.

Astrophysicists have observed our central supermassive black hole. They found the accretion disk is constantly emitting flares without periods of rest. Shorter, faint flares and longer, bright ...

NASA's flagship space telescope captured flares from the disk of superheated material around the black hole, revealing the dynamic—and explosive—physics at our galaxy's core.
