What makes red geysers stand out is that they show faint, galaxy-scale outflows of ionized gas, stretching tens of thousands ...

Leonardo Testi and team investigate the initial conditions for planet formation in this special astronomy focus ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

Across the observable universe, galaxies appear as luminous islands of stars and gas, anchored by invisible frameworks of ...
