What’s the missing link between stars and planets?
When dealing with large planets and small stars it can sometimes be hard to differentiate the two. Thankfully, brown dwarf stars might just be the divider we need.

Merging galaxies halt star formation
Analysis of the ‘butterfly’ galaxy NGC 6240 shows black hole ejections and stellar winds stop the birth of new stars

Astronomers suggest the Milky Way could be growing every day
When observing galaxies very similar to the Milky Way, researchers have deduced that they are slowly expanding in size

Can you get a double supernova explosion?
One supernova explosion is enough to pack a punch, but can two go off at the same time?
