Cosmic carnage: planetary rubble spotted at a dying starAstronomers have observed remnants of dead planets near a dying star, showcasing the end-of-life stages in stellar evolution.
How a companion can change a star's fateStellar fates are pre-determined by mass and element content; companions can alter outcomes significantly.
Starts With A Bang podcast #113 - Weird starsVariable stars, unlike most stable stars, provide crucial insights into stellar evolution and the workings of the universe.Understanding variable stars can lead to significant discoveries in astronomy, especially in the era of big data.

Preferential occurrence of fast radio bursts in massive star-forming galaxies - NatureFRBs are linked to magnetars, likely forming from core-collapse supernovae in massive, metal-rich galaxies.
The Sun Will Destroy the Earth One Day, Right? Maybe Not.Earth may endure a similar fate as a recently discovered rocky planet around a white dwarf after its star's red giant phase.
The mystery of the Milky Way's most bizarre supernovaThere are two primary pathways for supernovae: massive star core collapse and white dwarf explosions through mergers.
