The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...

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

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.

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.

This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, located 12 billion light-years away, and could power an intense burst of star formation in the baby ...
