Helium hydride’s origin also marked the beginning of a chain reaction that led to the formation of molecular hydrogen (H2), ...

On July 21, 2025, theEuropean Southern Observatory (ESO) highlighted an exciting discovery made possible by its cutting-edge ...

A dark star still shines, but it has something scientists have only theorized about it and can't prove the existence since it ...

This process increases its mass, leading to even more efficient gas accretion and accelerated star formation. However, galaxies do not grow indefinitely, due to a process astronomers refer to as ...

An "eye-catching" aspect is the bright, red-orange oval at the top right of the photo, which is likely dense area just beginning its star-formation process, implied by the low count of background ...

Astronomers have discovered a bright signal, embedded deep in a young disc, that is likely young planet HD 135344B still ...

“The collision isn’t as bad as it sounds,” Webb scientists write. “Although there was much star formation occurring before, collisions between galaxies can compress gas, improving the ...

This region, which lies about 58,000 light-years from the Milky Way’s center, has been captured in stunning detail by the James Webb telescope, revealing new insights into star formation in ...

Glowing red spots in the Webb images show areas where star formation is underway, NASA said. Other stars look blue-white. These ones have no radiation between themselves and Webb's camera, NASA said.

The Webb telescope peered into a star-forming nebula, or a cloud of gas and dust, named NGC 1333 located 960 light-years away within a larger gas and dust cloud called the Perseus molecular cloud.
