A groundbreaking study reveals the binary star system NGC3603-A1, where one star weighs 93 times and the other 70 times the mass of the sun, orbiting each other every 3.8 days. This discovery sheds light on stellar evolution and the dynamics of massive stars.
A groundbreaking discovery reveals that a binary star system just 150 light-years away will explode in a Type Ia supernova in 23 billion years. This finding confirms a long-theorized origin of supernovae, changing our understanding of cosmic events.
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have found a unique binary star system of two white dwarfs that are on a collision course, set to explode in a spectacular Type 1a supernova in 23 billion years. This event will be incredibly luminous, shining ten times brighter than the moon!
