If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James ...

The telescope continues to uncover previously unknown pockets of outer space. The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

The Tarantula nebula is home to some of the largest known stars, boasting masses up to 200 times that of our sun. The Hubble Space Telescope captured a scene on the nebula's fringes where the super ...

What stage of a star’s life do planets start forming? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a pair of researchers from the Southwest Research Institute ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

Stars form in the universe from massive clouds of gas. European Southern Observatory, CC BY-SA For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars ...

Archival ALMA data revealed a large, expanding bubble near the protoplanetary disk of the young star WSB 52, located approximately 441 light-years away. The bubble's formation is hypothesized to ...

Planets may begin forming much earlier than scientists once believed during the final stages of a star s birth, not afterward. This bold new model, backed by simulations from researchers at SwRI, ...

Researchers have spotted a Jupiter-like gas giant forming in the disk around a young sun — earlier in the star's lifetime ...
