This image shows the Vela pulsar wind nebula. Light blue represents X-ray polarization data from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Pink and purple colors correspond to data from NASA’s ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast cloud of high-energy particles called a wind nebula around a rare ultra-magnetic neutron star, or magnetar, for the first time. The find offers a unique window into ...

Astronomers have discovered a new rapidly spinning star that races through the universe at millions of miles per hour and spins 14 times a second. The pulsar, the rapidly spinning core of a dead star, ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from the Nanjing University in China and elsewhere, have detected a radio pulsar in a supernova remnant known as CTB ...

Composite image of the Galactic plane region and Potoroo, with the red layer showing the ASKAP total intensity image at 1368 MHz, and the green and blue layers representing WISE infrared images at 12 ...

A new X-ray photo taken by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) showing a cloud of ejected material from a former supernova shows an eerie shape reminiscent of a hand reaching into ...

NASA released new images of the "bones" of a dead star in conjunction with a new study on the astronomic event Monday. "Around 1,500 years ago, a giant star in our Galaxy ran out of nuclear fuel to ...

This image of the Crab Nebula combines data from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in magenta and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in dark purple. Scientists have mapped the iconic Crab ...
