Astronomers have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 is speeding through our galaxy at more than 110,000 mph. This ...

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

Understanding the formation of stars together with their subsequent evolution and identifying the physical processes that ...

The researchers confirmed that two enormous stars, each more than 20 times the mass of the sun, are growing inside Sagittarius C, blasting out powerful jets of gas as they develop. They also ...

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

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

Different stages of star formation can be measured in different ways, a number of which involve so-called emission lines – narrow regions within the electromagnetic spectrum where an object emits much ...

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 ...
