An asteroid that tore through the atmosphere over Germany in January was spinning faster than any other near-Earth object ever recorded, new research suggests. The space rock, dubbed 2024 BX1, turned ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse. Electrons ...

hello info person this is Anton and today we're going to discuss a discovery of yet another extreme neutron star or technically an extreme pulser that almost beats all records and more importantly ...

An asteroid that hit Earth’s atmosphere earlier this year was spinning once every 2.6 seconds, faster than any we knew of. Called 2024 BX1, the object – probably no more than 1 metre wide – entered ...

Astronomers have spotted pure chaos lurking in the cosmos. Thousands of light years away from Earth, a small yet intensely heavy star is releasing bursts of material as powerful as repeating atomic ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...

Using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have identified the three fastest-spinning brown dwarfs ever found. More massive than most planets but not quite heavy enough to ignite like ...

A new telescope in Chile has discovered a rapid asteroid as wide as eight football fields, making full spins in less than two minutes. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, built to repeatedly photograph the ...
