A distant star dimmed by 97% for nearly 200 days. Astronomers say giant rings around a brown dwarf or super-Jupiter may explain it.

Astrophysicists have achieved an eye-opening leap in understanding stellar death, capturing unprecedented, detailed images of two exploding stars that demonstrate these blasts are far more complicated ...

The vast majority of stars form and reside within galaxies due to the presence of cold, dense molecular gas clouds conducive to star formation. True intergalactic space, characterized by low-density ...

How do you find a galaxy that never formed? The standard cosmological model predicts the existence of “failed” galaxies — clumps of dark matter that captured gas but never birthed a star. Because they ...

A mysterious object has caused a long-lasting and extreme dimming of a distant star, but is this object a 'failed star' brown dwarf, or an exceptionally massive super-Jupiter exoplanet?
