A recent study provides answers to three seemingly disparate yet pressing cosmic dawn puzzles. Specifically, the authors show ...

The discovery is the first direct observational confirmation of a theory for how young stars feed on, and then explosively ...

Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty ...

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have made a groundbreaking discovery about how dust forms in some of the ...

Webb reveals a bridge of stars linking two nearby dwarf galaxies, offering a look at how gravity reshapes galaxies and sparks ...

Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its ...

When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images of the universe’s earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature ...

Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.
