JWST discovers a strange exoplanet that orbits a pulsar
OK, first, let's get the name out of the way. Scientists have cataloged this exoplanet as PSR J2322-2650b. It's called that ...
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system ...
But that’s nothing compared with PSR J2322-2650b, an object the mass of Jupiter studied recently by the James Webb Space Telescope. This planet’s equatorial diameter is about 38 percent wider than its ...
NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has produced the first-ever X-ray polarization data of the Vela pulsar wind nebula, which lies about 1,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation ...
Artist's illustration of white dwarf pulsar. Astronomers have discovered what is only the second example of a white dwarf pulsar. The rare stellar remnant is spinning rapidly, and as it does so, it ...
A rapidly spinning neutron star that sweeps beams of radiation across the universe like a cosmic lighthouse has been discovered by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division intern ...
Astronomers have discovered a unique double-star system that represents a “missing link” stage in what they believe is the birth process of the most rapidly-spinning stars in the Universe — ...
A perplexing fast-spinning star just might be the "missing link" in a long-standing pulsar mystery, scientists say. The so-called neutron star — a city-sized stellar remnant born from the explosive ...
A pulsar’s journey through swirling space-time shows astronomers how fast its binary companion spins
Einstein’s theory of relativity has many strange consequences. Time moves slower for those traveling at high speeds, and massive objects like the Sun deform the space-time in which they sit, causing ...
