For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, occasionally feasting on infalling material and burping out powerful jets. But ...

Astronomers have released the new results from the CAFFEINE survey, shedding new light on a long-standing mystery: what controls the efficiency of star formation in the densest parts of galaxies? In ...

Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have unveiled new insights into ...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to conduct the Galactic Plane Survey to map the Milky Way’s structure and examine star formation across the galaxy. The survey, Roman’s first ...

Astronomers have made a surprising discovery about NGC 6789, an isolated dwarf galaxy located 12 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. Despite residing in the Local Void—one of the ...

About 12 million light years away lies an impossible galaxy. Over the last 600 million years, its core has been forming new stars – but there is no apparent source for the fuel that has fed that star ...

In a groundbreaking observation, the James Webb Space Telescope captured unprecedented detail within the Small Magellanic Cloud. The images revealed hundreds of young stars forming in metal-poor ...

Stars forming in a variety of star-forming environments exhibit associated magnetized jets and winds. These outflows are dynamic and highly energetic phenomena that play a critical role in stellar and ...

“Our analysis shows a unique planetary arrangement: two planets are transiting one star, and the third is transiting its companion star,” said co-lead author Sebastián Zúñiga-Fernández, researcher and ...
