Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic ...

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

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

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

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

All galaxies (including our own) are thought to exist inside a giant cosmological structure called a dark matter halo - a cloud-like phenomenon made up of invisible matter that forms a scaffold to the ...

When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images of the universe’s earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature ...

Astronomers use simulations to discover how globular clusters form and reveal a new type of star system near the Milky Way.

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

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

A detailed study of young stars and their surroundings has produced dramatic new evidence about how multiple-star systems form and how the dusty disks that are the raw material for planets grow around ...
