NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope uses near-infrared imaging to penetrate dust clouds, revealing the formation of massive ...

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope. This map will teach ...

This intermediate spiral galaxy spans roughly 65,000 light-years—about half our own galaxy’s width, yet every bit as dynamic. At its core lurks a supermassive black hole weighing between 3 and 10 ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

Astronomers find galaxy Y1, a young star-forming region, revealing extreme heat just 600 million years after the Big Bang.

The brilliant afterglow of a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) has enabled astronomers to probe the star-forming environment of a distant galaxy, resulting in the first detection of molecular gas in a ...
