When neutron stars merge, things get messy
A NASA simulation shows the magnetic fields of colliding neutron stars meeting and entwining. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Scott Wiessinger (eMITS): Producer/editor Scott Wiessinger ...

A new plasma simulation just cracked how the universe builds its vast magnetic fields out of pure turbulence — knitting tangled magnetic threads across the cosmos
The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...
Astronomers have spotted a colossal explosion coming from a pair of merging neutron stars lurking within the remnants of an ancient galaxy pileup. The unexpected "collision within a collision" could ...
"We found a collision within a collision. The galaxy collision triggered a wave of star formation that, over hundreds of millions of years, led to the birth and eventual collision of these neutron ...
In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions. The ...
NASA’s Fermi telescope has detected what may be the first confirmed gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova — one of the most extreme explosions in the universe. Scientists believe the blast ...
Scientists have discovered that before black holes collide with neutron stars and merge, these extreme stellar remnants can swirl around each other in oval orbits rather than in circular orbits. The ...
