Black holes seen grabbing wayward stars in 3D simulation At Northwestern University, astrophysicists conducted a simulation in which black holes can be seen "taking bites" out of stars — then spitting ...

Advances in supercomputing have made solving a long‐standing astronomical conundrum possible: How can we explain the changes in the chemical composition at the surface of red giant stars as they ...

A new simulation from an international team of scientists has given some insight into the inner workings of a star and how stars twinkle. At the heart of stars is extremely hot material the moves ...

The gorgeous animation is the most realistic of its kind to date, according to the team, and could teach us valuable lessons about how stars are formed in the ...

Northwestern researchers have created the world's first audio simulation of twinkling stars. They did this by converting simulations of gas waves produced inside stars into sound waves. They hope the ...
