Based on what we think we know about the universe these stars really shouldn't exist, but they do!

It's easy to take things at face value in video games. But when we take a deeper dive into the physics in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, it seems that the "MOON" might be one of those things that isn't quite what it seems. Given its...

It's been conjectured that the center of the Milky Way is swarming with tens of thousands of black holes. And now we've actually seen them.

We knew some stars created large amounts of calcium, but no one really ever knew how...until now! Plus, astrophysicists believe they’ve finally seen evidence of the star that created one of the most important supernovas ever!

Sci-Fi worlds may have giant worms or twin suns, but those are pretty cozy compared to these wild worlds.

What happens when matter can't get any denser yet somehow does? The answer - it becomes strange. Strange Stars may be the most massive stellar remnant that is just shy of forming a black hole. And they could be even cooler than black holes.

The first time scientists found exoplanets, they were orbiting something very different from our sun: a pulsar.<br/>

FRBs last just a few milliseconds, and astronomers have detected less than a couple dozen of them without our current telescopes. Where do scientists think they come from?

Gabe breaks down the steps for how he determined the density of the moon in Majora's Mask.

This has been another really good year for exploring the universe. This is our annual superlatives episode, so let’s take a look at the some of the coolest breakthroughs of 2019.

Massive stars fuse heavier elements in their cores than lower mass stars. This leads to the creation of heavier elements up to iron. Iron robs critical energy from the core, causing it to collapse. The shock wave, together with a huge...

Last year LIGO announced the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes. The science world went a little crazy. Only a few weeks ago a new rumour emerged: that LIGO had, for the first time, spotted gravitational...

Find out what kinds of things are lurking near the center of our galaxy!

The extreme mass of neutron stars leads to enormous gravitational pulls, resulting in nearly perfect spheres. But those imperfections, or mountains, might be able to help us spot more neutron stars in the future! And back on Venus, more...

Hint: It's not your collection of awesome refrigerator magnets!

This week in news, scientists have found a galaxy coming to a smashing end, and a neutron star that's... The most.

The exploding “cow” around 200 million light-years away is running astronomers for a loop, but if it is what some hypothesize, we are witnessing a first for astronomy! Meanwhile, we got photographic evidence of a planet orbiting a binary...

This video is about the differences between the corpses or final degenerate dense star forms that dead stars take: black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. The main distinguishing features between them are the mass cutoffs...

A super bright flash in the sky might be the birth of a supernova remnant and it turns out there's more than one way to build a binary star system.

Here on Earth, we’re used to seeing both lunar and solar eclipses. But further out are eclipses that don’t behave at all the way we expected them to.

There are a lot of incredible things in space, but neutron stars are some of the most mind-blowing. From liquid plasma oceans on the surface to a possible neutron superfluid in the core — as you go deeper into a neutron star, the physics...

In 1967, a star was discovered that seemed to be different than most stars, . . . it looked like it was blinking.

The results are in from the neutron star collision this past August! Astronomers are revealing what they've learned so far, with more pure gold research underway!
