A collaborative team has revealed new observational evidence that sheds light on the mystery of massive star formation. Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the ...

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic fields.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

Researchers spotted a colossal cloud of gas and dust in the Milky Way, filled with turbulent motion, newborn star seeds, and even a natural microwave laser. This newly found Midpoint cloud appears to ...

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary view of star birth in the Pismis 24 cluster, revealing its dust-scape sculpted by massive infant stars. Located 5,500 light-years away in ...

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 ...

The beams hint at the true scale of the massive star that spawned them. A massive star on the distant outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy is seen blowing a powerful cosmic blowtorch in a new image ...

Scientists created the most accurate 3D map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The star-formation region that is ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new images of Sagittarius B2, a highly active star-forming region near the Milky Way's center. Utilizing NIRCam and MIRI, Webb's observations ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way's outer region. Subscribe to our newsletter ...
