Astronomers have identified a compact, superheated galaxy in the early universe that is churning out new suns at roughly 180 times the rate of the Milky Way, turning a tiny patch of sky into a cosmic ...

Like the Sun shining through the clouds in the early morning, a bright star within the star-forming nebula N79 appears to burst forth through a web of cooler gas and dust in this image taken by the ...

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, ...

A ‘GHOSTLY’ image captured by Nasa shows a stunning view of a “stellar nursery” where stars are born. The haunting pic reveals a star-forming cloud called Lupus 3, located hundreds of lightyears away.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have detected what appears to be a faint and small star-forming complex. The discovery of the new complex, which received the designation LAP2, ...
