Astronomers have discovered the first step in planet birth, finding hitherto unseen structures in 78 planetary disks in the ...

In a stellar nursery 460 light-years away, astronomers sharpened old ALMA data and spotted crisp rings and spirals swirling ...

"The extraordinary results are an essential step toward understanding the initial conditions that lead to the formation of ...

Stellar nurseries are incredibly complex, and they have this beautiful, intricate structure weaving throughout them. We know that that structure is intimately tied to the birth of stars.

Stellar nurseries, where new stars bloom to life, are thick clouds of gas and dust, a.k.a. molecular clouds.JWST can see through the clouds to observe star formation in real-time, offering the ...

Stars are born in "stellar nurseries," or regions of galaxies with an abundance of gas and dust that can become overly dense and collapse to form infant stars, or "protostars."More accurately ...

The powerful device will scan the sky like never before, capturing vast amounts of data to reveal how the universe changes ...

The Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile has shared its initial images. These images showcase cosmic wonders like the Trifid and ...

However, Sgr B2 appears to be the exception. Although its rate of present massive star formation is unusually low, like the ...

Most disks observed were about 30 astronomical units wide, roughly 30 times the Earth-Sun distance. The presence of intricate structures in such early systems implies a parallel evolution of infant ...
