Why Sagittarius B2 produces so many stars in comparison to the rest of the galactic center has remained an enduring mystery ...

"We were amazed by the fact that these observatories can detect about 100 black holes just 250 million years after the Big Bang. Such detections would greatly help to constrain black hole formation ...

The comet, named 3I/ATLAS, is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever seen in our solar system. That means it came ...

Star formation is a fundamental physical process in our universe. Stars light up the cosmos, and give rise to planets, some ...

Hubble’s latest look at Messier 96 reveals a warped spiral galaxy glowing with rings of stellar birth. The new details shed light on how stars emerge and influence their surroundings.

When you think of telescopes in space, you probably think of the Hubble Space Telescope and its younger, larger sibling, the ...

Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has delivered new images of Sagittarius B2, the largest star-forming cloud near the Milky ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, measured the carbon-rich concoction that forms a moon-forming disk of ...

Astronomers and astrochemists reviewed years’ of research to try and resolve a simple question – is cosmic dust porous?

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...
