Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...

Scientists have pierced through a dusty stellar nursery to capture the earliest and most detailed view of a collapsing gas cloud turning into a star, analogous to a baby’s first ultrasound. The ...

Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular ...

The newest images from the James Webb Space Telescope, released today by NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, show stars, gas, and dust on small scales in 19 nearby disk galaxies beyond our ...

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 ...

The telescope continues to uncover previously unknown pockets of outer space. The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared view of the Cat’s Paw Nebula reveals mini “toe beans.” Massive young stars are carving the gas and dust while their bright starlight is producing a ...

New mapping of the Milky Way has uncovered a vast family tree of stellar siblings, revealing that hundreds of star clusters ...
