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 ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

Webb reveals a bridge of stars linking two nearby dwarf galaxies, offering a look at how gravity reshapes galaxies and sparks star formation.

Astronomers used a cosmic lens to reveal a hyperactive protocluster. ALMA and VLA observations uncover tightly packed ...

In a groundbreaking study published in The Astrophysical Journal, scientists have uncovered an unusual star cluster called Ophion that challenges our understanding of how star families evolve. Located ...

Astronomers have deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team reports that most nearby young star clusters belong to only ...

How could the Universe form such dense and extremely hot structures only 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang? This question ...

A trio of massive, young star clusters found embedded in a star cloud may shed light on the formation of super-star clusters and globular clusters. The discovery, made with images taken with the ...

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 ...

An inexplicably hot, fast-growing cluster of galaxies in the early universe has scientists questioning theories of galactic ...

Christmas-themed imagery knows no bounds, not even in space. NASA has drawn comparison between a celestial formation and a holiday wreath, referring to the recently spotted star and dust cloud cluster ...
