Yes, the sun is an ordinary, solar-type star after all
Jul 14, 2017 (SPX)
The results also advance scientists' understanding of how stars generate their magnetic fields. The Sun's activity - including changes in the number of sunspots...
Chandra Peers Into a Nurturing Cloud
Jul 13, 2017 (SPX)
The giant molecular cloud known as W51 is one of the closest to Earth at a distance of about 17,000 light-years. Because of its relative proximity, W51 provides...

Smallest-Ever Star Discovered by Astronomers
Jul 12, 2017 (SPX)
The star is likely as small as stars can possibly become, as it has just enough mass to enable the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. If it were any smaller...
