A once-massive star that's been transformed into a small planet made of diamond: that's what astronomers think they've found in our Milky Way. A once-massive star that's been transformed into a small ...

Astronomers from the University of Manchester have recently presented a study at the National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2022) revealing that exoplanets orbiting rapidly rotating stars known as pulsars ...

In 1992, astronomers discovered the first exoplanets in an unexpected part of the universe: around a pulsar, a rapidly spinning stellar corpse. Not many other pulsar planets have been found since then ...

What if Earth became a pulsar planet? Witness the effects of constant radiation bursts on life and the planet’s environment.

A crazy planet has been discovered orbiting a distant pulsar star that is roughly 4,000 light years away from Earth. What makes this planet so insane and exotic is that astronomers think the planet ...

Planets and pulsars, the whirling cores of dead massive stars, appear to be an unlikely match. Most of these pulsating stellar corpses can’t nurture fledgling planetary systems, researchers suggest.

A newly discovered alien planet that formed from a dead star is a real diamond in the rough. The super-high pressure of the planet, which orbits a rapidly pulsing neutron star, has likely caused the ...

A study suggests that extrasolar planets rich in carbon compounds may possess internal diamond layers, formed under high pressure and temperature, similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.

A star that changes into a diamond planet? What sounds like science fiction is apparently reality. Researchers found the diamond planet with the help of the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope in ...
