Jets are colossal structures that erupt from the poles of an actively feeding black hole. The black hole devours clouds of ...

Leonardo Testi and team investigate the initial conditions for planet formation in this special astronomy focus ...

What makes red geysers stand out is that they show faint, galaxy-scale outflows of ionized gas, stretching tens of thousands ...

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 ...

Astronomers discovered new evidence that supermassive black holes can quietly choke off star formation over time ...

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 ...

For a long time, scientists thought that only actively star-forming galaxies should be observed in the very early Universe. The James Webb space telescope now reveals that galaxies stopped forming ...

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 ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

“Three years into its mission, Webb continues to deliver on its design – revealing previously hidden aspects of the universe, from the star formation process to some of the earliest galaxies,” said ...
