A collaborative team has revealed new observational evidence that sheds light on the mystery of massive star formation. Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the ...

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

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

Starting from the upper left and moving clockwise from large to small scales: upper left —"spiral-like" system; upper right — "bar-like" structure; lower right — rotating infalling envelope; lower ...

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have ...

On this artist impression of the Milky Way, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope, the location of the new star-formation map is shown. The star-formation region that is mapped ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered an extraordinary star, SDSS J0715-7334, which may be the most “pristine” object ever ...

Shutterstock The formation of stars is a festinating process that involves massive amounts of dust and gas slowly coming ...

A spectacular image shows the birth of stars in space. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured a cosmic dust cloud. It appears like a mountain with glowing peaks. Wisps of gas and dust swirl around ...
