Micronova
Artwork depicting a so-called micronova. This is an entirely new phenomenon in astrophysics, reported by astronomers at the University of
Durham in the UK. They are highly explosive events that occur in a subsclass of
cataclysmic binaries called inte...

Surface Mass Ejection
A surface mass ejection (SME), depicted in this illustration, is a relatively
recently discovered phenomenon in stellar astrophysics. They are similar to coronal mass ejections
but on a far larger scale. During an SME, a star can release hundreds of ...

PNe - V5
Artwork of an imaginary planetary nebula. This is a glowing shell of gas cast off by
a star near the end of its life. The star can be seen at the centre of the nebula.
The Sun will one day form a planetary nebula, once its internal stock of hydrogen ...

Synestia
Artwork of a synestia. This is a hypothetical torus of molten rock that is believed
to form when two similarly sized rocky bodies collide - one may have arisen when the
Earth was struck by a Mars-sized world called Theia, inside of which the Moon was...

WD1054-226
The white dwarf WD1054-226 exhibits a constant stream of transits by debris and or
dust in orbit about it, with an underlying period of 25.02 hours. Astronomers believe
that the material orbits within the star's habitable zone, where the temperature ...

ZTF J0923+4236
The white dwarf shown in the illustration is one of several that an international
team of astronomers has been studying. Called ZTF J0923+4236, the star exhibits a
series of dips in its brightness. The team, led by Amornrat Aungwerojwit from
Naresuan...

Planet Collision
Astronomers from the University of Warwick and Leiden Observatory have observed an
