Hubble’s latest view of N159 captures newborn stars igniting, glowing, and blasting bubbles into a vast cosmic nursery.

JWST's latest discovery is poised to change everything about massive star formation and the creation of such objects in the early universe.

Today, with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, we can see the universe with the most unprecedented detail and depth.

NASA's powerful James Webb Space telescope has revealed a colorful spread of stars and cosmic dust in the Milky Way's most active star-forming region. The telescope was studying Sagittarius B2, a ...

Using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array, astronomers have revealed for the first time the huge flow of gas near a massive star in the making that allows its rapid growth. By ...

A Christmas Tree-shaped star cluster inside NGC 2264 reveals active star formation 2,700 light-years from Earth.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers traced how Milky Way–like galaxies formed and changed over time.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy designated F8D1. The new observations, presented July 17 on the pre-print server arXiv, deliver ...

Across the galaxy, stars are born in immense clouds of gas and dust — stellar nurseries where gravity coaxes material to coalesce and ignite. Around many of these newborn stars, the surrounding gas ...
