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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

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 ...
