It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

In July 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell noticed a "bit of scruff" in the radio data she was receiving at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. Together with her Ph.D. advisor Antony Hewish, she zeroed ...

Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

If the pulsar is confirmed, it could enable more precise measurements of the space-time around the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole ...

Astronomers have spotted a rare cosmic duo: a neutron star that rotates nearly a hundred times every second locked in an ultra-tight orbit with a semi-shredded star. The scientists who found the pair ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

For nearly four decades, Earth has been quietly receiving a repeating radio signal from deep space — one that challenges ...
