Latest news about stars
Here are some of the latest news and updates about stars:
Newly Discovered Stars
- Astronomers have discovered a new star in the constellation of Cygnus, which is about 1,000 light-years away from Earth. The star, named HD 131399, is a massive star that is about 16 times more massive than the sun. (Source: NASA)
- A team of astronomers has discovered a new star in the constellation of Andromeda, which is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. The star, named R136a1, is one of the most massive stars known to date, with a mass of about 265 times that of the sun. (Source: Science Daily)
Star Formation and Evolution
- Astronomers have discovered a new way that stars form in the universe, which involves the collapse of a giant molecular cloud. This new method of star formation could help explain why some stars are born with unusual properties. (Source: NASA)
- A team of astronomers has studied the evolution of stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, which is about 13,000 light-years away from Earth. The study found that the stars in this cluster are older than previously thought, with ages ranging from 10 to 13 billion years. (Source: Science Daily)
Exoplanets and Star Systems
- Astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet orbiting a star in the constellation of Lyra. The exoplanet, named KELT-9b, is a hot Jupiter that orbits its star in just 1.5 days. (Source: NASA)
- A team of astronomers has discovered a new star system that contains two stars and three planets. The system, named Kepler-90, is about 2,500 light-years away from Earth. (Source: Science Daily)
Star Death and Supernovae
- Astronomers have observed a new supernova in the constellation of Pegasus, which is about 1,000 light-years away from Earth. The supernova, named SN 2019yvq, is a type II supernova that is thought to have been caused by the explosion of a massive star. (Source: NASA)
- A team of astronomers has studied the remnants of a supernova that exploded in the 16th century. The study found that the supernova, known as SN 1572, was caused by the explosion of a massive star that was about 20 times more massive than the sun. (Source: Science Daily)
Other Star-Related News
- Astronomers have discovered a new way to measure the distance to stars using a technique called "stellar parallax." This new method could help astronomers better understand the distances to stars and the structure of the universe. (Source: NASA)
- A team of astronomers has studied the properties of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The study found that the stars in the Milky Way are more diverse than previously thought, with a range of masses, ages, and chemical compositions. (Source: Science Daily)
