Astronomers have discovered the raw ingredients of planets orbiting two infant stars, offering a glimpse into how new worlds ...

In the swirling clouds of gas and dust that surround newborn stars, planets begin to form. These planet-forming disks are ...

Astronomers using ALMA have discovered that planet-forming discs are not flat and serene but subtly warped, reshaping our ...

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming discs around young stars could become the seeds ...

During this clumping together, gaps open up in the protoplanetary disk, which we see as rings around the star. The Atacama ...

Planets may begin forming much earlier than scientists once believed during the final stages of a star s birth, not afterward. This bold new model, backed by simulations from researchers at SwRI, ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which astrophysicists at UZH use to investigate how stars, planets and galaxies ...

Archival ALMA data revealed a large, expanding bubble near the protoplanetary disk of the young star WSB 52, located approximately 441 light-years away. The bubble's formation is hypothesized to ...

A study led by Jenny Frediani at Stockholm University has revealed a planet-forming disk with a strikingly unusual chemical ...

The life cycles of stars are fascinating, and sometimes the line between stars and planets isn’t as clear as it seems. Astronomers have found that under certain conditions, stars can fade, shrink, or ...
