Imagine eating as much as you can handle, getting heavier and heavier — all while getting slimmer and slimmer. Sounds like a dream, especially after the festive period, right? Well, maybe not for ...

Astronomers have found the fastest spinning star ever discovered. The hot blue giant rotates at a dizzying 1 million mph (1.6 million km/h), or 100 times faster than our Sun. The star is close to the ...

New ultraviolet observations indicate a Milky Way star is spinning nearly 200 times faster than Earth’s sun, the probable result of a merger between two sun-like stars whose binary orbit recently ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– An international team of scientists has found the fastest-rotating massive star ever recorded. The star spins around its axis at the speed of 600 kilometers per second at ...

(Inside Science) — Astronomers have detected the fastest-spinning white dwarf star found yet — one that researchers say acts like an extraordinarily powerful magnetic propeller, a new study finds.

Astronomers have discovered a strange spinning star that appears to be older than the explosion that gave birth to it, scientists say. The star is a pulsar, a rotating, super-dense core left behind ...

Vega is a fundamental reference star for astronomers. But it seems that our perceptions of it have been misconceived — rather than spinning slowly, the star is a rapid rotator seen pole-on. For ...
