It's Raining Iron on a Distant Exoplanet

An exoplanet that rains molten iron was discovered by astronomers. A bizarre exoplanet that rains molten iron was discovered by astronomers. The exoplanet's weather conditions include a steady showering of molten iron rain, 2,400 degrees Celsius temperature, and winds above 10,000mph.

Black Hole Leaves A Star In Pieces

All stars are doomed to burn out, but this one was ripped apart by a colossal black hole. A colossal black hole was caught ripping apart a star. The space agency NASA was able to witness this space event from beginning to end through its telescope.

The Star that Astronomers Say “Should Not Exist”

A very old star is found, and its contents are a bit weird. In the halo of the Milky Way, a tiny, ancient star called J0023+0307 drifts about. It's very old indeed, which isn't uncommon for stars in the halo-but it contains no detectable carbon, which is rather unusual.

Black Hole Study Reveals Supernova Has No Role In Conversion Of Star

Space experts trust that stars need to detonate in a supernova before they fall into black holes. Researchers have detected a monstrous star 22 million light years away, N6946-BH1, that seems to have skirted the supernova step altogether - it lit up marginally and just vanished.

Massive Black Holes Shred The Falling Stars In Deep Space

Astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have put a basic principle of black holes to the test, showing that matter completely vanishes when pulled in. Their results constitute another successful test for Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
