Astronomers have spotted a colossal explosion coming from a pair of merging neutron stars lurking within the remnants of an ancient galaxy pileup. The unexpected "collision within a collision" could ...

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

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a major breakthrough, scientists have simulated in unprecedented detail how a neutron star cracks just seconds before being ...

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 ...
