Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

What: Astronomers using JWST and ALMA have captured the earliest known stage of planet formation around the protostar ...

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...

In 2023, astronomers detected a huge collision. Two unprecedentedly massive black holes had crashed an estimated 7 billion ...

Observations show the disk of our galaxy is not flat but warped and waving. Astronomers are still working out the reasons why ...

"To see thin stellar disks already in place 8 billion years ago, or even earlier, was surprising." Astronomers taken on the role of cosmic archeologists, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to ...

The figures illustrate the revealed sequential disk formation in this study: thick disk only galaxies dominate the early epochs (bottom panel), while galaxies exhibiting both thin and thick disks ...
