Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.

Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, is a key spot for astronomers to study star formation.

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it's actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a ...

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

A young, still-forming star has been caught in the act of creating heat-born crystals and hurling them far into the cold ...

Why it's so special: This stunning image from the Hubble Space Telescope depicts a star-forming region called Sharpless 2-106, or S106 for short. Characterized by its "wings," it is classified as a ...

For decades, scientists have studied how planets form by looking at young stars nearby, assuming that these environments could be representative of all star systems. However, as astronomers discover ...

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and ...
