NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may detect dozens of isolated neutron stars in the Milky Way through gravitational microlensing. A new study shows the observatory could measure the masses of these otherwise invisible objects. Researchers expect the mission to provide the first large sample of such stars detected solely by their gravitational effects.
Astronomers have observed a rare event where a black hole fell into a companion star and ate its way out, producing the longest-known gamma-ray burst. The burst, lasting about seven hours, was detected 9 billion light-years from Earth. This unusual scenario explains the extended duration of the phenomenon.
