We thought we understood planets, but the planetary disk chemistry of far-away XUE 10 is completely changing our conception ...

A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...

Astronomers have developed a new model for simulating how clusters of baby stars form and evolve, helping to explain how bubbles of ionized gas are created away from the heart of a galaxy. Stellar ...

Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

The Oyster Star Cluster, also known as NGC 602, shines brilliantly in a new image shared by NASA, showcasing its mesmerizing beauty in various wavelengths of light. This cluster is located near the ...

Christmas-themed imagery knows no bounds, not even in space. NASA has drawn comparison between a celestial formation and a holiday wreath, referring to the recently spotted star and dust cloud cluster ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...
