Surface Mass Ejection
A surface mass ejection (SME), depicted in this illustration, is a relatively
recently discovered phenomenon in stellar
astrophysics. They are similar to coronal mass ejections but on a far larger scale.
During an SME, a star can release hundreds of ...

PNe - V5
Artwork of an imaginary planetary nebula. This is a glowing shell of gas cast off by
a star near the end of its life. The star can be seen at the centre of the nebula.
The Sun will one day form a planetary nebula, once its internal stock of hydrogen ...

Dyson Swarm - V1
To harness much more of the Sun's abundant power, our descendants have encased the
star in a cage of billions of moving parts - a Dyson swarm. This energy can then be
transmitted to wherever it is needed in the Solar System....

Red Giant from Planet
This once normal star, having exhausted its internal supply of hydrogen, has
expanded, growing into a gargantuan caricature of its former self called a red giant.
It is dozens or hundreds of times its original size. Any nearby planets will be
engulfe...

Red Giant Destroying Planet - V2
Astronomers at NOIRLab (Tucson, Arizona, USA) have detected what they believe is the
first sighting of the destruction of a gas giant planet caused by the expansion of
its ageing red giant star. All sun-like stars expand as their nuclear fuel runs ou...

Gravity Waves from Colliding White Dwarfs
Two white dwarfs are approaching each other on an inbound spiral that can only result
in destrucion, sending gravitational waves deep into the cosmos. They will soon
collide to form a Type 1a supernova....

HD 209458 - V3a
HD 209458 is a star with an extrasolar planet. The planet, HD 209458b or Osiris,
orbits so close to its parent star (only a few stellar diameters away) that star's stellar wind is gradually stripping away the planet's
atmosphere, to form a long, come...

Red Dwarf Flaring
Artwork of a red dwarf star emitting a stellar
flare. A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, either
late K or M spectral type. They range in in mass from a low of 0.075 solar masses to
about 50% of the Sun and have a su...
