Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar ...

The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in the galaxy called Pismis 24.

The simulation started very, very early in the universe and used the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model that scientists use as the standard model of Big Bang Cosmology, with another added library ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a planet-forming disk that almost entirely lacks water, ...

The study's authors found that certain orientations of twin star systems may provide critical information about planet formation, while also being easier for astronomers to discover planets within ...

An international team of astronomers, co-led by researchers at the University of Galway, has made the unexpected discovery of ...

This image provided by the European Southern Observatory on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, shows HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation.

The discovery of this stage is significant because it is the first time scientists have identified the initiation of planet formation around a star at such a young age. This process occurs when ...

Astronomers have discovered a star system in which six planets orbit one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance.

A young sunlike star called HOPS 315 seems to host a swirling disk of gas giving rise to minerals that kick-start the planet formation process.

The study, “Bursty star formation naturally explains the abundance of bright galaxies at cosmic dawn,” was supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation.
