Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its predecessor Hubble, astronomers took a close look at thousands of young star clusters in four galaxies and studied these clusters at different ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Webb and Hubble show massive young star clusters clear natal gas faster, shaping galaxy radiation and planet-forming environments.

Just as people of the same age can vary greatly in appearance and shape, so do collections of stars or stellar aggregates. New observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest that ...

The differences in location between open and globular star clusters result from the interplay between gravity and rotational motion. This rotational motion is called angular momentum, and is a ...

A young star cluster does not begin life in the open. It starts buried inside thick clouds of gas and dust, hidden from ordinary view while newborn stars heat, ionize, and push against the material ...
