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 ...

AGB Star
Researchers from the University of Sheffield and Imperial College have discovered and
old, evolved star interloping through a youn star-forming region (centre right).

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...

Galaxy Tidal Streams - V1
Artwork of a galaxy surrounded by stellar streams. Streams are elongated, looping
structures made from stars and gas. They result when
a smaller galaxy passes a more massive one and becomes torn apart by tidal forces....

Binary White Dwarf Supernova - V1
Illustration of a star system consisting of two white dwarfs, in which one of the
stars (right) is transferring gas to its partner
owing to their proximity. As a result, the star on the left has reached an unstable,
critical mass, which is resulting ...

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
