Right now, somewhere above our heads, missions are being planned that could redefine humanity's place in space. The decisions ...

Astronomers figured out where powerful jets come from on a baby star called HH 211. This is about 1,000 light-years away in the Perseus constellation. The discovery sheds light on the early stages of ...

Most events in the universe are not fully understood, including the relatively simple process of star formation. Stars form in dense clouds of cold gas and dust. When these clouds reach a threshold ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope recently got a front-row seat to some incredible stellar fireworks on the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy. The eruption of gases from a stellar jet in a distant nebula is ...

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 ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled an awe-inspiring celestial spectacle of a spiral galaxy interacting with a plume of dust and gas from a newborn star. NASA said in a statement it was "a ...

The Webb Space Telescope captured a chance alignment of a protostellar outflow and a spiral galaxy in a dazzling example of the cosmos' weirdness. Reading time 2 minutes Webb has imaged phantasmal ...
