Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have detected 32 new bright pulsating DA white dwarfs of the ZZ Ceti subclass. The finding was reported in a research paper ...

An unusually powerful pulsating aurora display lit up skies over Arctic Norway for nearly three hours during a colossal geomagnetic storm. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The precise mechanism driving pulsating auroras, long unknown, has now been identified with help from NASA's THEMIS mission. Sometimes on a dark night near the poles, the sky pulses a diffuse glow of ...

A variable star is, quite simply, a star that changes brightness. A star is considered variable if its apparent magnitude (brightness) is altered in any way from our perspective on Earth. These ...

For decades, astronomers have listened to the stars' beating hearts. The stellar music is not only cosmically soothing, but it also provides scientists with crucial data on the internal structure of ...

This isn't your average Northern Lights display. Captured by expert Tom Kerss, this footage shows a rare pulsating aurora that flickers on and off. We explain the science behind this incredible ...

A pulsating star’s song could be the result of fractals at play. Pressure changes inside a star can make portions of its surface expand and contract, so observers see it appearing to “breathe” as its ...
