Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline ...

Webb data explains how heat-formed crystal minerals end up in icy comets by tracking their journey around a young, actively forming star.

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope captured imagery of young star system ...

New data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows where crystalline silicates form around young stars and how disk outflows transport them to colder, outer regions.

The swirling disk around a young star has been found to contain an inventory of seventeen complex organic molecules enough to ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive hydrogen cloud, known as Eos, shining brightly in ultraviolet light near our solar system. This newly detected cloud offers fresh insights into how stars and ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud and called it "Eos." It is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.

Astronomers have observed a Sun-like star dim dramatically for nearly nine months after being obscured by a vast cloud of gas and dust. A huge cloud filled with vaporized metals has been spotted ...

A team of international researchers led by Tomas Stolker in the Netherlands has imaged a young gas giant exoplanet near a 12-million-year-old star. The planet is orbiting a star whose planet formation ...

Scientists have discovered a massive molecular cloud close to the solar system. As big as 40 full moons as seen from Earth, the vast structure — which poses no threat — is composed primarily of ...
