A new catalog of giant pulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar reveals a feature predicted to exist but not seen until now.
Last year, gravitational wave detectors triggered on what may have been a collision involving a sub-solar-mass neutron star.
New simulations suggest the outer solar system could disassemble within about one billion years after the Sun becomes a white dwarf.

Luckily, one transit astronomer’s trash data can be a pulsation timer’s treasure. For some A-type stars called δ Scuti stars, the pulsation is regular enough to be used like a cosmic clock. Subtle ...

There’s still debate over the exact source of the emission detected by ALMA. Does this emission come from dust, and if so, how is the dust distributed? Is the disk optically thick or optically thin?
