At the end of their main-sequence life span, stars similar in mass to our Sun will undergo a period of evolution. This stellar evolution is predicted to...
Using the Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured a new image of the Red Spider Nebula,...
Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have created the large-scale maps of carbon monoxide (CO)-dark molecular gas for the star-forming complex...
Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections...
The binary stellar system TOI-2267 likely harbors two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an additional Earth-sized candidate, according to a new paper published...
This streamer of gas is channeling matter from the surrounding cloud of a star-forming region in Perseus directly onto a newborn binary star system called...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have obtained a new image of the nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC 3370.
This Hubble image shows NGC...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected doubly deuterated water (D2O), or ‘heavy water,’ in the protoplanetary...
The discovery of 1I/Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS showed that significant numbers of interstellar objects populate interstellar space. Their omnipresence...
Located in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius B2 is an enormous molecular cloud of gas and dust roughly 3 million times the mass of the Sun.
Stars,...
A striking new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a star cluster called N11, which is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
This Hubble...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have taken a beautiful new image of the star cluster Pismis 24, which resides in the core...
With the help of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have made a big leap forward in the understanding of how the raw material of...
Using the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have directly imaged a 4.9-Jupiter-mass protoplanet in a cleared gap of...
Astronomers using the Visible Broadband Imager at NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured dark coronal loop strands with unprecedented clarity...
In his new paper, Professor Jonathan Tan, an astrophysicist at the University of Virginia and the Chalmers University of Technology, proposes that Population...
White dwarfs are the dense cores left behind when stars exhaust their fuel and collapse. They are Earth-sized stellar embers weighing typically half as...
Intracluster light is a diffuse glow of stars stripped from galaxies during a galaxy cluster’s formation.
Abell 3667 is featured in this DECam image....
Designated Stephenson 2 DFK 52, the newly-discovered red supergiant resides in the massive stellar cluster RSGC2.
This image shows the red supergiant star...
Using two instruments onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured new high-resolution images of the planetary nebula...
