The James Webb Space Telescope is turning the Milky Way inside out, exposing the buried engines that actually drive our galaxy’s star production. By peering through dust, resolving crowded stellar ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning and scientifically puzzling image of Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2), a ...

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 ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This time, the most powerful telescope ever launched into space uncovered a ...

The newest images from the James Webb Space Telescope, released today by NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, show stars, gas, and dust on small scales in 19 nearby disk galaxies beyond our ...

Scientists have pierced through a dusty stellar nursery to capture the earliest and most detailed view of a collapsing gas cloud turning into a star, analogous to a baby’s first ultrasound. The ...

The telescope continues to uncover previously unknown pockets of outer space. The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared view of the Cat’s Paw Nebula reveals mini “toe beans.” Massive young stars are carving the gas and dust while their bright starlight is producing a ...

Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the ...

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

Why it's so special: This stunning image from the Hubble Space Telescope depicts a star-forming region called Sharpless 2-106, or S106 for short. Characterized by its "wings," it is classified as a ...
