NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will map the Milky Way using infrared observations, studying star formation, stellar evolution, star clusters, and hidden galactic structures over a two-year survey.

Observations undertaken by Ralf Launhardt, a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, and colleagues have clinched an important part of the standard scenario for the formation of new ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that a supermassive black hole can starve its host galaxy of gas needed for star formation, a discovery made while observing a galaxy ...

Stars are born, go through middle age, and eventually die. The way a star is formed plays a crucial role in shaping its lifespan. To understand this process, researchers study star-forming regions, ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

New findings from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are shedding light on star formation in a dynamic cluster that lies within a nebula 200,000 light years away. NGC 346, located in the Small ...

Lighting up the universe is a rough-and-tumble business. It is not a bad thing that there are so few stars; quite the opposite. Stars burn gas, mostly hydrogen. All of the hydrogen gas in the universe ...

A stream of stars and gas are being fed to the heart of a stellar nursery in the Small Magellanic Cloud, fueling intense star formation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The findings could help solve the mystery of how the first stars formed. The roughly four-billion-year-old system consists of a black hole and two orbiting stars—a configuration that's never been seen ...
