As a star runs out of fuel, it will billow out to a million times its original size, engulfing any matter — and planets — in its wake. Scientists have observed hints of stars just before, and shortly ...
Astronomers detect the closest example yet of a black hole devouring a star（图）
黑洞 吞噬恒星 红外天文学
2023/6/9
Once every 10,000 years or so, the center of a galaxy lights up as its supermassive black hole rips apart a passing star. This “tidal disruption event” happens in a literal flash, as the central black...
Scanning the first images of a well-known early galaxy taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Cornell astronomers were intrigued to see a blob of light near its outer edge.
Mysteriously bright flash is a black hole jet pointing straight toward Earth, astronomers say（图）
黑洞生长 超大质量黑洞 兹威基瞬态设施 天文观测
2023/6/9
Earlier this year, astronomers were keeping tabs on data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, an all-sky survey based at the Palomar Observatory in California, when they detected an extraordinary flash...
Astronomers find a “cataclysmic” pair of stars with the shortest orbit yet（图）
“灾难性”恒星 恒星 双星系统
2023/6/9
Nearly half the stars in our galaxy are solitary like the sun. The other half comprises stars that circle other stars, in pairs and multiples, with orbits so tight that some stellar systems could fit ...
Astronomers see carbon dioxide on planet outside solar system for first time（图）

2023/6/25
Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have captured definitive evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar system.
As praise pours in for the images released July 12 from NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – the next-generation telescope able to peer deeper into the cosmos – Cornell astronomy faculty who...
Astronomers snap first-ever image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*（图）
超大质量黑洞 人马座A* 银河系
2023/6/9
Black holes are invisible by nature. Their pull is inescapable, forever trapping any light that falls into their gravitational abyss. But just beyond a black hole’s point of no return, light persists,...
Astronomers discover a rare “black widow” binary, with the shortest orbit yet（图）
“黑寡妇”双星 恒星 伴星环 银河系
2023/6/9
The flashing of a nearby star has drawn MIT astronomers to a new and mysterious system 3,000 light years from Earth. The stellar oddity appears to be a new “black widow binary” — a rapidly spinning ne...
On the evening of Dec. 12, 2021, Cornell astronomers Gordon Stacey and Thomas Nikola were dangerously short on time. They’d been awake for nearly 24 hours, with another all-nighter ahead of them.

2020/6/19
Astronomers acting on a hunch have likely resolved a mystery about young, still-forming stars and the regions rich in organic molecules closely surrounding some of them. The scientists used the N...
