Galaxy Ejecting Star
This shows a hypothetical spiral galaxy seen from an oblique angle. A red dwarf star has been ejected by the galaxy at high speeds and
will wander the void between galaxies. Such objects are known as free-floating stars....

Gravity Waves from Colliding White Dwarfs
Two white dwarfs are approaching each other on an inbound spiral that can only result
in destrucion, sending gravitational waves deep into the cosmos. They will soon
collide to form a Type 1a supernova....

Exoplanet TOI-6894b V3
Artwork depicting the exoplanet TOI-6894b around a red dwarf star. This planet is unusual because, given the size/mass
of the planet relative to the very low mass of the star, this planet should not have been able to form. The
planet is vary large co...

Evaporating Molten Planet
When a planet is in a sufficiently close orbit around its parent star, the planet can become tidally 'locked', so that it
always presents the same face to its star. The Moon
is tidally locked to the Earth, for example. Astronomers have discovered an ...

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

Kepler 444 - V2
Kepler-444 A is an orange main-sequence star twice
the age of the Sun, an incredible 11 billion years old. Orbiting this are two red
dwarfs (center, right) and five known planets. All planets orbit so close to their
parent star that life as we know i...

Dormant Black Hole
Black holes normally reveal themselves in astronomy because they are surrounded by
discs of gas, heated to high temperatures, stolen from nearby stars. The X-rays emitted from these accretion discs give
away the black hole although it cannot itself b...

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 ...
