Astronomers using data from ESA's Euclid and Herschel space telescopes have confirmed that star formation has already peaked in the cosmos, and that the universe is bound to get steadily 'colder and ...

For decades, scientists have studied how planets form by looking at young stars nearby, assuming that these environments could be representative of all star systems. However, as astronomers discover ...

NASA's powerful James Webb Space telescope has revealed a colorful spread of stars and cosmic dust in the Milky Way's most active star-forming region. The telescope was studying Sagittarius B2, a ...

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

Researchers spotted a colossal cloud of gas and dust in the Milky Way, filled with turbulent motion, newborn star seeds, and even a natural microwave laser. This newly found Midpoint cloud appears to ...

A strange flash of light from near the beginning of the universe could help astronomers map difficult-to-see gas in between galaxies, like a flashbulb in a dark room. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are ...

The findings could help solve the mystery of how the first stars formed. The roughly four-billion-year-old system consists of a black hole and two orbiting stars—a configuration that's never been seen ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy designated F8D1. The new observations, presented July 17 on the pre-print server arXiv, deliver ...

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, ...
