Gigantic black holes lurk at the center of virtually every galaxy, including ours, but we've lacked a precise picture of what ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified an extraordinary system of five galaxies merging when the universe was only about 800 million years old, according to a study published in Nature ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new dwarf galaxy, which received designation ...
A new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows the Lupus 3 cloud in Scorpius bursting with young stars that are forming within collapsing clouds of gas and dust.
From degeneracy to galactic archaeology, white dwarfs are helping scientists make sense of some of the universe's burning ...
Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.
While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it’s actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a star-forming cloud about 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. White ...
Astronomers have released the new results from the CAFFEINE survey, shedding new light on a long-standing mystery: what controls the efficiency of star formation in the densest parts of galaxies? In ...
Gas clouds do trigger bursts of star formation in merging galaxies through large-scale compression caused by gravitational interaction. When galaxies pass close to one another, their interstellar gas ...
