There's a demon in the early-morning sky, amid the stars of Perseus the Hero. Second-magnitude Algol (Beta Persei) is also ...

When two stars orbit one another in such a way that one blocks the other's light each time it swings around, that's an eclipsing binary. A new paper from NASA's Eclipsing Binary Patrol citizen science ...

Astronomers from the Center of Astronomical and Space Education in Moscow report the discovery of a new star, which turned ...

Citizen scientists have successfully located thousands of previously unknown pairs of “eclipsing binary” stars, Nasa has ...

Splitting Epsilon Aurigae’s light into its component wavelengths (colors) revealed new mysteries about the unseen eclipsing body.

The system was clearly a yellow supergiant eclipsing binary. “We didn’t expect to find one of these things, much less two,” said Kris Stanek, associate professor of astronomy at Ohio State.

A newly designed, AI-powered program could solve the puzzle of binary stars in mere seconds using a common laptop, a process that currently takes supercomputer clusters weeks.

Ever ridden a teacup ride at a state fair? If so, you might have a small taste of life in a whirling, twirling sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system.

Astronomers have known since the 1880s that Algol is an “eclipsing binary” star. Its changes in brightness are caused by two stars orbiting only a few million miles apart, so that they look ...

In its quest for planets, Kepler also discovered more than 2,000 new eclipsing binary star systems. Several exotic systems were discovered, including the first known eclipsing triple-star systems.
