Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe’s ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas...
Intense radiation from a quasar in one of these galaxies alters the gas properties in the other galaxy and dampens its ability to form new stars, according...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a striking image of a portion of the Tarantula Nebula, which is part of a dwarf galaxy...
Over two billion tons of carbon monoxide are released into the atmosphere globally each year. Diverse bacteria and archaea consume about 250 million tons...
New data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESO’s Very Large Telescope provide evidence that outbursts from supermassive black holes can help...
Heating of complex organic matter in the presence of water may be an important source of Titan’s abundant atmospheric nitrogen and methane gases, according...
Centaurs are former trans-Neptunian objects that have been moved inside Neptune’s orbit by subtle gravitational influences of the planets in the last...
These giant, hot bubbles of gas on the surface of R Doradus are approximately 75 times the size of our Sun, according to a paper published in the journal...
Chemists at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research have provided experimental evidence that sulfurous acid (H2SO3), once formed in the gas phase,...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Subaru Telescope, astronomers have discovered a pair of merging gas-rich galaxies...
Despite recent progress, the question of what regulates the star formation efficiency in galaxies remains one of the most debated problems in astrophysics....
One-third of Mars’ surface has shallow-buried water, but it is currently too cold for use by life. Proposals to warm Mars using greenhouse gases require...
Hyperluminous infrared galaxies are the rarest and most extreme star-forming systems and found only in the distant Universe.
Stellar, cold-gas and ionized-gas...
The five artificial greenhouse gases identified by University of California, Riverside astrobiologist Edward Schwieterman and his colleagues would be detectable...
Large amounts of stars are being born at the center of NGC 4383, a peculiar galaxy located 74 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices....
NGC 604 is similar to familiar starbirth regions in our Milky Way Galaxy, such as the Orion Nebula, but it is much larger in extent and contains many more...
