NASA’s Hubble Uncovers Rare White Dwarf Merger Remnant An international team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic rarity: an ultra-massive white dwarf star resulting from a white dwarf merging with another star, rather than through the evolution of a single star. This discovery, made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope’s sensitive ultraviolet observations, suggests these rare white dwarfs may be more common than previously […] The post NASA’s Hubble Uncovers Rare White Dwarf Merger Remnant first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

NASA Citizen Scientists Find New Eclipsing Binary Stars When two stars orbit one another in such a way that one blocks the other’s light each time it swings around, that’s an eclipsing binary. A new paper from NASA’s Eclipsing Binary Patrol citizen science project presents more than 10,000 of these rare pairs – 10,001 to be precise. These objects will help future researchers study […] The post NASA Citizen Scientists Find New Eclipsing Binary Stars first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
