Some newly found stars in a small galaxy called Sextans A are forming without some of the usual "ingredients," raising ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured young stars in Lupus 3, a star-forming cloud 500 light-years away, showing T Tauri ...

A twisting black hole jet is pushing gas across a star-forming galaxy, revealing how black holes can reshape disks from the ...

Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty protoplanetary disks that give birth to planets of all kinds. And when a star ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...

Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope caught this stunning image of the Tarantula nebula, the largest and brightest stellar factory in the Large Magellanic Cloud — a dwarf galaxy orbiting our own. The ...

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 ...

Planet formation around low-mass stars may be suffering from Peter Pan syndrome. While previous observations and models have suggested that a disk of planetary building blocks should be 'fully grown' ...

The vast majority of stars form and reside within galaxies due to the presence of cold, dense molecular gas clouds conducive to star formation. True intergalactic space, characterized by low-density ...
