The James Webb Space Telescope caught the birth of an enormous star with particle beams cutting across a stretch of ...

When a star is born, it doesn’t emerge in isolation. Instead, it forms inside a large, chaotic cloud of gas and dust. Around it, a flat disk of spinning material takes shape. This protoplanetary disk ...

NASA’s powerful telescope imaged a seething jet of gases. The eruption flows from a massive protostar in space. It speeds at ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar ...

N ASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a massive outflow of hot gases from a large star. This stellar jet spans 8 ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a planet-forming disk that almost entirely lacks water, ...

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously ...

Molecules capable of forming the precursors to sugars and amino acids have been detected, for the first time, in the disk of ...

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and ...

Astronomers have discovered an extrasolar planet with the largest core of any known planet. The discovery is especially exciting to planet formation theorists, because it provides extremely strong ...

For the first time, scientists have directly tracked the slow transformation of a dying star over more than a century—revealing it is heating up faster than any other typical star ever observed. This ...
