Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline ...

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope captured imagery of young star system ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a young star flinging heat-formed crystals outward on a cosmic conveyor belt, ...

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

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured young stars in Lupus 3, a star-forming cloud 500 light-years away, showing T Tauri ...

The swirling disk around a young star has been found to contain an inventory of seventeen complex organic molecules enough to ...

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.

Scientists have discovered a massive molecular cloud close to the solar system. As big as 40 full moons as seen from Earth, the vast structure — which poses no threat — is composed primarily of ...
