"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very ...

Astronomers say the extreme magnetic field of Magnetar SGR 0501+4516 could ‘rip apart every atom inside the body’ ...

Almost all stars form in binary and multiple systems and so correctly predicting their properties in one of the best tests of star formation models. We are conducting hydrodynamic simulations of star ...

The most distant and earliest "dead" massive galaxy ever seen shows some galaxies lived fast and died young shortly after the ...

It has now been observed for the first time that strong magnetic fields play an important role in suppressing star formation, explains astrophysicist John Bally. This was possible because the ...

Traditionally, astronomers have grouped galaxies into two different categories: blue, which are young and actively forming stars, and red, which are older and have ceased star formation.

Additionally, NGC 4941 hosts an active galactic nucleus with a supermassive black hole, which affects its surroundings through radiation and jets, impacting star formation and galaxy evolution.

To celebrate Hubble's 35th anniversary, ESA/Hubble released a breathtaking new image of the star-forming region NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. This cosmic nursery, packed with thousands of ...
