Experts are constructing an accurate model of the galaxy's largest red hypergiant to find out how it will die. Learn more about the model and how it is being assembled.
A new astronomical study identifies over 40 red giants that are slimmer than the normal ones. Read more about the slimmer red giants and how they form.
Scientists stumble upon a rare binary star that repeatedly explodes roughly every 15 years producing gamma rays. Read on to find out why the star explodes and what it means for astrophysics.
A study in 2018, used computer modeling to determine that, like most of the stars, the Sun is most possible to shrink down from being a red giant to become a white dwarf, and then, as a planetary nebula.
