NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will slam into an asteroid today. Back home on Earth, researchers carried out an impact experiment of their own.
Black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs sometimes announce their presence when they accrete matter from a stellar companion, but many more may be hiding quietly in binary systems across the Milky Way.
Simulating a Plateauing Supernova
Can models explain why supernova SN 2021yja took a detour as it dimmed, staying the same brightness for weeks before fading again?
Astrobites reports on a clash between supermassive black hole jets and gaseous filaments laced with magnetic fields.
Did Mars’s two small moons form when a larger moon split in two? New simulations put this theory to the test.
What causes some pulsars to spin much slower than others? Could it have to do with accretion from their birth environment?
