Travelling Towards Orion
Animation showing the 3D distribution of the stars in Orion, and how the constellation changes its appearance as we travel towards it. We see the constellation of Orion as just a 2D projection on the night sky, and it is easy to imagine that all the ...

White Dwarfs Accreting Debris
Astronomers from the University of Warwick, UK, have observed a pair of old white dwarf stars, both of which have had their atmospheres polluted by infalling planetary material. The two stars do not orbit each others and are not related. One is a coo...

Stolen Exoplanet
Scientists at Sheffield University, UK, used computational N-body simulations of star-forming regions to show that the 'BEAST' planetary systems - planets orbiting massive stars - can form from the capture of a free-floating planet, or the direct the...

Dyson Swarm - V1
To harness much more of the Sun's abundant power, our descendants have encased the star in a cage of billions of moving parts - a Dyson swarm. This energy can then be transmitted to wherever it is needed in the Solar System....

Red Dwarf Flaring
Artwork of a red dwarf star emitting a stellar flare. A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, either late K or M spectral type. They range in in mass from a low of 0.075 solar masses to about 50% of the Sun and have a su...
