NASA’s NEOWISE archival data tracks a massive star in Andromeda fading quietly into a black hole, providing detailed observations of stellar collapse and gas expulsion from 2005 to 2023.
Astronomers combing through years of images collected by the NEOWISE mission have found the clearest known evidence of a star converting directly to a black hole, without passing through the supernova ...
In the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, a massive star bright enough to stand out for years has gone dark. Not in a blaze of glory.
What started as a relatively simple project for the Caltech Planet Finder Academy — a program that allows students to work on and experience real-world astronomy challenges — Matteo Paz began ...
A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on itself and formed a black hole.
Using archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission along with data from other space and ground-based observatories, astronomers identified the clearest observational record yet of a massive star fading ...
