NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured another stunning image, showing the formation of new stars. Taken with the $10 billion observatory's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), the picture reveals ...

A stunning corner of the cosmos was recently revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope, and astronomers think the find will unveil more about the mysteries of both star and planet formation. Hiding ...

A distant protostar dubbed the V883 Orionis recently gave researchers significant information that water formation around its gaseous discs may help to form comets and planets before a star is born.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has returned with another celestial image. This latest photograph shows the process of how a new star is formed. Enveloped within a dark cloud, the protostar appears ...

An international team of astronomers, which includes three researchers affiliated with the Nicolaus Copernicus University (Torun, Poland), has succeeded in mapping the protostellar disk with the ...

Star formation should be a relatively straightforward process. Dense clouds of molecular hydrogen collapse under gravity, fragmenting into cores that grow into protostars. These infant stars are cold, ...

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 ...

Researchers believe that our universe began with the Big Bang about 13 billion years ago, and that soon after that event, matter began to form as small dust grains and gases. How the first stars ...
