A near-complete census of our interstellar neighborhood hopes to answer how stars, brown dwarfs and rogue planets form ...

When we look out at the night sky, stars are overwhelmingly what we see—thousands of them, ranging from Sirius, the brightest ...

Astronomers have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis ... such as spots and eruptions. Stars are spherical structures where matter is in the state of plasma ...

A nearby star that's similar to the sun in many ways is actually an unprecedented oddball, astronomers have discovered. The surprising star is V889 Herculis, located 115 light-years away in the ...

The habitable zone or "Goldilocks zone" is a region around a star that is neither too hot nor too cold to allow liquid water to exist on a world's surface. A three-dimensional map of stars near ...

Peißker et al Since stars typically form in pairs or triplets, rather than a single star, scientists deduced that binary star systems were orbiting near the ... This chart shows the location ...

TOI 700 becomes one of very few star systems with multiple, small, habitable-zone planets that astronomers know of. Red dwarf stars are cooler than stars like our Sun, but much more abundant in ...

But if our local star ever wanted a humility check, it need only cast a glance out into the rest of the universe. Other stars at more advanced stages of their life cycles could eat the Sun for ...

Ancient Chinese astronomer Shi Shen’s star catalog, known as The Star Manual of Master Shi, is now considered the oldest star chart in the world. Later observations written into the catalog ...

Astronomers from the University of Helsinki have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis ... such as spots and eruptions. Stars are spherical structures where matter is in ...
