Fast And Bright Stellar Explosion Could Be A New Cosmic CollisionArtist's impression depicting a compact object – either a black hole or a neutron star – feeding on gas from a companion star in a binary system. Since gas cannot fall in from all directions in a rotating system, it forms a swirling disc around the compact object.

"Celestial Monster" Stars Up To 10,000 Times Our Sun's Mass Left Clues For JWSTThis image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows NGC 6388, a dynamically middle-aged globular cluster in the Milky Way. While the cluster formed in the distant past (like all globular clusters, it is over ten billion years old), a study of the distribution of bright blue stars within the cluster shows that it has aged at a moderate speed, and its heaviest stars are in the process of migrating to the centre.
