The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of the R Aquarii binary star system from 2014-2023. The images have been time ...

Even with eclipsing binaries, measuring the properties of stars is no easy task. Stars are deformed as they rotate and pull ...

What happens when a planet defies every expectation of how worlds are supposed to form and move? In the nu Octantis system, ...

An international team of scientists have provided an unprecedented tally of elemental sulfur spread between the stars using ...

A typical white dwarf’s core elements are obscured by thick layers of hydrogen and helium—but that covering almost entirely ...

Binary stars orbit around each other, and in eclipsing binary stars, one passes in front of the other, relative to the telescope lens. Merikanto/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Think of a playground ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a possible gas giant the size of Saturn in the stellar system nearest our own ...

A bizarre planet defies cosmic norms: scientists have confirmed a giant planet orbiting in reverse around one star in a close ...

Astronomers have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to find strong evidence for a planet orbiting a star in the triple ...

SVS 13 looks like one star to visible-light telescopes but careful observations in the radio part of the spectrum using the Very Large Array (or VLA) show it’s a binary star, with two low-mass ...

A UC Berkeley doctoral student has mined the most recent Gaia survey for all binary stars near Earth and created a 3D atlas of 1.3 million of them. The last local survey included about 200 binary ...

Binary star orbits are oriented randomly. Sometimes, it happens that a telescope’s line of sight aligns with the plane a binary star system orbits on.
