The dual-star system produces a cyclic flood of gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light
Using six or more years of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the search for the elusive material has been broadened with some novel approaches
We find out if a supernova could kick-start a mass extinction
