To understand how young stars affect galactic evolution, researchers studied 18,000 star-forming regions in nearby spiral ...

Just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, the universe was a dark and simple place. There were no galaxies like ...

This gas led to the formation of stars and expansion of galaxies during the early stages of the Universe. A new study by an ...

Located 12 million light-years away and undergoing rapid star formation, edge-on spiral galaxy Messier 82 (M82) is a scientifically unique sight to behold, and now NASA's James Webb Space Telescope ...

NAOJ ATERUI III simulations show magnetic fields strip angular momentum from forming protostar pairs at up to 0.7 percent per orbital period, explaining why binary systems form fast enough to match ...

Scientists have uncovered the true boundary of the Milky Way’s star-forming region using stellar “age mapping.” They found a telltale U-shaped pattern showing that star formation drops sharply around ...

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...
