A collaborative team has revealed new observational evidence that sheds light on the mystery of massive star formation. Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the ...

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic ...

Why Sagittarius B2 produces so many stars in comparison to the rest of the galactic center has remained an enduring mystery ...

The first stars in the universe formed out of pristine hydrogen and helium clouds, in the first few hundred million years ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary view of star birth in the Pismis 24 cluster, revealing its dust-scape sculpted by massive infant stars. Located 5,500 light-years away in ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

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 ...

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have ...

The beams hint at the true scale of the massive star that spawned them. A massive star on the distant outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy is seen blowing a powerful cosmic blowtorch in a new image ...

Scientists created the most accurate 3D map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The star-formation region that is ...
