Astronomers have discovered that a pair of stars—one white dwarf and one red dwarf—are sending out radio pulses every two ...

TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star about 40.7 light-years away from Earth. It is of particular interest because it has seven ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...

Fluffy strands of cosmic gas and dust illuminated by bright young stars form a beautiful cloudscape in a neighboring nebula.

Last year, astronomers announced that a planet orbits Barnard’s star. Now, researchers have confirmed the existence of three more.

Radio astronomers have discovered an unusual phenomenon in recent years. They detected radio pulses from the Milky Way that last from seconds to minutes. These pulses differ from those produced by ...

For over 40 years, astronomers have been puzzled by strange X-ray signals from the Helix Nebula’s white dwarf. Now, they may ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy ...

The planets are all too hot for life as we know it, but astronomers haven’t given up searching for more planets in Barnard's ...

Now, astronomers have zeroed in on the surprising origin of the unusual radio pulses: a dead star, called a white dwarf, that is closely orbiting a small, cool red dwarf star. Red dwarfs are the ...

Four small, newly discovered worlds are less than six light-years away from Earth, and their discovery reinforces a ...
