A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown ...

Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.

(THE CONVERSATION) Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and ...

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 ...

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

Most gamma-ray bursts—the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe—are tracked back to the deaths of massive stars. But a new discovery suggests that such enormous explosions can come from ...

Astronomers have spotted a jaw-dropping collision between two neutron stars – and it may have produced gold and platinum. The discovery in a tiny far-away galaxy is the first time this has been seen ...
