Ba-by stars, doo doo doo doo doo doo.

For the first time ever, astronomers revealed the birthplace of an energetic jet blasted by a newborn star using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. When you purchase ...

Webb data explains how heat-formed crystal minerals end up in icy comets by tracking their journey around a young, actively forming star.

Some newly found stars in a small galaxy called Sextans A are forming without some of the usual "ingredients," raising ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered Population III stars, the universe's first generation of stars. They may tell us more about how galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential for life as we know it can form readily in space. This discovery, ...

New data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows where crystalline silicates form around young stars and how disk outflows transport them to colder, outer regions.

New research suggests that essential components of life may assemble in interstellar space long before planets or oceans ...

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Most events in the universe are not fully understood, including the relatively simple process of star formation. Stars form in dense clouds of cold gas and dust. When these clouds reach a threshold ...
