The "Cosmic Grapes" galaxy formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang, revealing a never-before-seen structure.
The Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, is a key spot for astronomers to study star formation.
Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope. This map will teach ...
When a star is born it emerges from giant fluffy clouds, suggests a new study. Deep space observations by Japanese scientists ...
In a stellar nursery 460 light-years away, astronomers sharpened old ALMA data and spotted crisp rings and spirals swirling around 27 infant stars—evidence that planets start taking shape just a few ...
At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...
The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
