WASHINGTON :Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a white dwarf - a highly compact stellar ember - that appears to have gobbled up an icy world akin to the dwarf planet Pluto, a ...

In our nearby stellar neighborhood, a burned-out star is snacking on a fragment of a Pluto-like object. With its unique ultraviolet capability, only NASA's Hubble Space Telescope could identify that ...

NASA says its Hubble Space Telescope has captured evidence of a white dwarf star consuming the remnants of a Pluto-like object - a scenario that may predict what will happen to planets in our own ...

Astronomers have detected the chemical fingerprint of a frozen, water-rich planetary fragment being devoured by a white dwarf star, offering the clearest evidence yet that icy, life-delivering objects ...

A distant white dwarf star has been observed consuming a frozen, Pluto-like world rich in ice and volatile materials. Astronomers have detected nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and carbon in the remnants.

"The speed at which this doomed stellar system is lurching wildly, likely due to the extreme brightness, is a frantic sign of its imminent, violent end." Betelgeuse may have competition for the most ...

Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star in the binary V Sagittae, some 10,000 light-years away, that is stripping away material at a much higher rate than in any such system known to us ...

Hubble has captured a dense, burned-out star in the act of consuming a Pluto-like object. Happening some 260 light years from Earth, the new observation, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...
