Artist's conception of a white dwarf, right, accreting hydrogen from the Roche lobe of its larger companion star A nova (pl. novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new") that slowly fades over weeks or months.
Equipped with 8 different lasers, this small artificial star will be able to mimic almost any star—or even supernova—found in the night sky. Being able to more accurately study supernova in ...
KOI-4878.01 is an exoplanet candidate that orbits the F-type main-sequence star KOI-4878.It is located about 1075 light years (329 parsecs) from Earth. [1] [2] [3] The features of the planet are very similar to that of Earth, and if it is confirmed, it would be one of the most Earth-like planets found. [4]
The nebula Pa 30 was connected to SN 1181 by astronomers and has the central star IRAS 00500+6713. The central star is an oxygen-rich Wolf–Rayet star and is the result of a merger of a CO (carbon-oxygen) white dwarf and an ONe (oxygen–neon–magnesium) white dwarf in a type Iax supernova. This makes IRAS 00500+6713 a confirmed zombie star.
LHS 475 b is a terrestrial planet orbiting the star LHS 475 which is about 40.7 light years away, in the constellation of Octans. [2] [3] It was the first extrasolar planet to be confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope. [4] It completes an orbit every 2 days and is 99% the diameter of Earth.

Population I star Rigel with reflection nebula IC 2118. Population I stars are young stars with the highest metallicity out of all three populations and are more commonly found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy. The Sun is considered as an intermediate population I star, while the sun-like μ Arae is much richer in metals. [17] (The ...
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
