The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Stars, gas and cosmic dust in the Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud glow in near-infrared light, captured by Webb’s NIRCam instrument. The darkest areas of the image are not empty space but are areas ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) could have discovered an unknown form of galactic object known as a black hole star. It seems that these objects are made up of a black hole at the center, ...

Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic fields.

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way's outer region. The research is published in ...

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 ...

Zenghua Zhang, an astronomer at Nanjing University in China, and his colleagues were combing through catalogs of stars in search of cold brown dwarfs, interstellar objects that fall somewhere between ...

Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker defended communism as the "honorable end goal" of socialism and the redistribution of goods to the working class on Wednesday. Piker sat down with comedian Hasan ...

The "cooling-flow problem" in galaxy clusters involves a discrepancy between the predicted rapid cooling of hot gas leading to intense star formation in central galaxies and the observed lack thereof ...

A strange flash of light from near the beginning of the universe could help astronomers map difficult-to-see gas in between galaxies, like a flashbulb in a dark room. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are ...

Star-forming nebulae are powerful producers of H-alpha light, and several of these regions can be identified across NGC 45 by their bright pink-red color. These observing programs aimed to study star ...
