Massive stars in the Lobster Nebula carve dramatic shapes into cosmic dust while thousands of glittering young stars emerge ...

Astronomers map cosmic dust in the Milky Way, aiding in tracing next-gen star formation locations using the Gaia mission and ...

Astronomers have recently unlocked groundbreaking insights into star formation in some of the galaxy's most isolated regions, thanks to the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) ...

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

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

"It's an elegant answer, really, because we thought it was a tiny galaxy full of many separate cold stars, but it's actually, ...

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously ...

In a new study, astronomers report novel evidence regarding the limits of planet formation, finding that after a certain point, planets larger than Earth have difficulty forming near low-metallicity ...
