Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...
“The data indicates that the youngest stars form in filaments of gas,” Loeb said. “Subsequently the gas cools and fragments ...
Stars emerge from vast regions of gas and dust known as molecular clouds. These stellar nurseries, often spanning hundreds of ...
Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...
Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...
Images from ALMA telescope provide insight to the earlier years of our universe.
A new study has unveiled new insights into the effects of massive stars on nearby molecular gas and star formation in the W4 ...
In our Milky Way galaxy, the molecular clouds that facilitate star formation have an elongated "filamentary" structure about 0.3 light-years wide. Astronomers believe that our Solar System was ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of HH 30, a young star in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. This star is ...
