Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

The comet formed in a cold and distant part of the early Milky Way up to 12 billion years ago, putting it just under 2 billion years the age of the universe.

Our sun and a host of "solar twins" may have migrated away from the core of the Milky Way galaxy together long ago, potentially making the solar system more hospitable to life.

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

A groundbreaking study in galactic archaeology proves the Sun made a treacherous journey to reach its current home in the Milky Way suburbs.
