Galaxies can be remarkably dusty places and supernovas are thought to be a primary source of that dust, especially in the early Universe.

Astronomers using the GBT have discovered a unique stellar system of two white dwarf stars and a superdense neutron star, all packed within a space smaller than Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

Using the new capabilities of the upgraded VLA, scientists have discovered previously unseen binary companions to a pair of very young protostars.

Massive stars – those at least 8 times the mass of our Sun – present an intriguing mystery: how…
