What makes red geysers stand out is that they show faint, galaxy-scale outflows of ionized gas, stretching tens of thousands ...

Leonardo Testi and team investigate the initial conditions for planet formation in this special astronomy focus ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is turning the Milky Way inside out, exposing the buried engines that actually drive our galaxy’s star production. By peering through dust, resolving crowded stellar ...

Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular ...

Scientists have pierced through a dusty stellar nursery to capture the earliest and most detailed view of a collapsing gas cloud turning into a star, analogous to a baby’s first ultrasound. The ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...
