A binary star supernova is a spectacular phenomenon where one of the stars in the system eventually collapses with an almost unimaginable explosion. Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley recently discovered a type of supernova that, fueled by helium instead of the usual carbon, is only about a tenth as bright as a normal supernova. A more frightening discovery is of a binary system in our own galaxy, only about 3,260 light years away, that had regular nova explosions every…

Thanks to this unprecedented look into the early lives of binary stars, researchers have gotten a glimpse into the complex formation of the most common stellar setup.

A beautiful nebula in the southern hemisphere with a binary star at it’s center seems to break our standard models of stellar evolution. But new data from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) suggests that there may once have been three stars, and that one was destroyed in a catastrophic collision. About 3800 light years away, … Continue reading "Two Stars in a Binary System are Very Different. It's Because There Used to be Three"

According to a new study by a team of astronomers, globular clusters are several billion years younger than previously thought.
