We previously covered such “gravity telescopes” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA). These early 2 nd generation of ...
We thought we understood planets, but the planetary disk chemistry of far-away XUE 10 is completely changing our conception ...
The GWTC 4.0 catalog records 128 new gravitational wave signals, revealing mergers of black holes and neutron stars detected by LIGO.
Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...
Imagine falling into a star so powerful it could tear apart every atom in your body. This video explores what would happen if you approached the universe’s most magnetic and dangerous star. With ...

The mind-boggling density and gravity of neutron stars
The bold question-askers at What If reveal the astonishing density of neutron stars. Florida’s $83 million land deal is ‘an ...
Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...
New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...
For the past decade, gravitational wave astronomy has opened our eyes to amazing cosmic phenomena thanks to LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. Bob McDonald celebrates LIGO ...
Ask Dr. Universe: Earth’s crust couldn’t withstand weight and pressure of a fragment of neutron star
Mon., June 23, 2025 A composite image of the supernova 1E0102.2-7219 contains X-rays from Chandra (blue and purple), visible light data from VLT’s MUSE instrument (bright red), and additional data ...
In a major breakthrough, scientists have simulated in unprecedented detail how a neutron star cracks just seconds before being swallowed by a black hole. The simulation, led by Caltech astrophysicist ...
Still image from the numerical simulation at around 1.3 seconds after the neutron star merger. The contours in blue and green show the density of the matter around the central remnant black hole. The ...
