Visualization of gas flows around a binary protostar system calculated by ATERUI III. The first half of the video shows a close-up view around the binary protostars. The second half shows a wide-field ...

Nearby black holes and their stellar companions form an astrophysical rogues' gallery in this new NASA visualization. Stars born with more than about 20 times the sun's mass end their lives as black ...

A pair of orbiting black holes millions of times the Sun's mass perform a hypnotic pas de deux in a new NASA visualization. The movie traces how the black holes distort and redirect light emanating ...

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of three Earth-sized planets orbiting within a compact binary star system. This rare configuration, where planets circle two stars simultaneously, ...

Astronomers have observed primordial material that may be giving birth to three planetary systems around a binary star in unprecedented detail. Astronomers have observed primordial material that may ...

In a galaxy far away, an exceptionally massive black hole is traveling around a massive star in an unusually tight orbit. Also odd, the star is not as bright as it should be. Astronomers have puzzled ...

Visualization of gas flows around a binary protostar system calculated by ATERUI III. The gas shown in red orbits around one of the two protostars. The gas shown in blue orbits around the combined ...
