  • This image shows a new type of star that has never been seen before in X-ray light. This strange star formed after two white dwarfs collided and merged. Image: ESA/XMM-Newton, L. Oskinova/Univ. Potsdam 11 January 2021

    Strange star unlike any seen before, scientists say

    A new type of star that has never been seen before in X-ray light has record-breaking winds and shines bright with neon light. Researchers say it is likely the result of two white dwarfs merging - an event that normally ends in annihilation

      Harmful stellar flares might not prevent life on exoplanets after all, new study says

      Although outbursts from stars are typically seen as detrimental to life on other worlds, a new study shows that continuous flares actually drive a planet's atmospheric composition into a new chemical equilibrium, therefore giving life a fighting chance at survival
