Astronomers are preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will happen approximately 3,000 light years away from Earth, yet will be visible.

Thanks to pure coincidence, the eROSITA telescope has captured the first-ever views of an X-ray explosion from a white dwarf star.

Astronomers have detected out-of-place elements on the surface of a white dwarf star that may have come from dead planet remains.

Data from NASA's X-ray observatory has been found to contain evidence of something being consumed by a star 500,000 miles away.

For the first time, Astronomers have seen a white dwarf star switching 'on and off', paving the way for deeper understanding.

Researchers have just located what appears to be the smallest and most massive white dwarf that astronomers have ever seen.
