Ask Ethan: When do stars turn the most mass into energy?Nuclear fusion is crucial for powering stars, but common misconceptions exist regarding its role and efficiency in stellar evolution.
Will the Sun make a planetary nebula when it dies?Stars evolve through a life cycle governed by nuclear fusion, ultimately exhausting their fuel and leading to various stellar endpoints.

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.
