Those X-ray blasts are coming in a strange pattern, and that pattern has lasted for months.

Enough gold, uranium and other heavy elements about equal in mass to all of Earth's oceans likely came to the solar system from the collision of two neutron stars billions of years ago, a new study finds.

Astronomers have apparently spotted another epic neutron-star crash — and they didn't need gravitational waves to do it.

What can you do in 15 minutes? Maybe read a few articles or watch a few videos online. But as astrophysicist and Space.com columnist Paul Sutter explains, 15 minutes is enough time for a particular kind

The dramatic neutron-star merger that astronomers observed in August 2017 generated a jet of material that seemed to move four times faster than light, a new study reports.

The energetic explosions release clouds of debris similar to those launched from nuclear explosions.

The intermittent merger of neutron stars truly shakes the universe by conveying gravitational waves (represented above), however these occasions may likewise be the primary wellspring of gold and other

When something detonates, you anticipate that there will be a brilliant glimmer that dies down. This is the thing that astrophysicists thought would happen when they watched the crash between two neutron
