Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for ...

Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and if you look more broadly, groups of stars make up huge structures such as ...

A new set of supercomputer simulations published June 5, 2026 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has provided the most quantitatively precise confirmation yet of why binary star ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...

A team of astronomers from The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and other universities have captured the first direct image of a young binary ...
