What can you do with a team of people armed with backyard telescopes and a decade of patience? Test how binary star systems evolve under Einstein’s general theory of relativity!
For the first time, we’ve directly determined the direction that a pulsar — a highly magnetized neutron star — is spinning. Astrobites reports on the outcome.

How does the absence of galactic neighbors influence galaxy evolution? To answer this question, a new study explores the properties of galaxies in cosmic voids.
Enormous, cool stars like Betelgeuse can inform studies of stellar evolution, supernovae, gravitational waves, and more! Dr. Emily Levesque reveals what we can learn from red supergiants in her new ebook.
Astrobites reports on how we might learn about the speed of nearby dark matter by tracking metal-poor stars.
Astronomers have discovered that an intriguing quadruple star system is younger than was originally thought.
