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 fields.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

A team from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Princeton University is the winner of the prestigious 2025 John ...

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 ...

A growing list of dark star candidates could help explain why some early galaxies were so big, so early in the universe.

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 ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way's outer region. Subscribe to our newsletter ...
