If you gaze at the vast galaxies filled with countless stars, it’s easy to assume they are star factories, churning out brilliant balls of gas. However, it’s the less evolved dwarf galaxies dwarf galaxies have bigger regions of star factories, with higher rates of star formation. Recent ...

Through the study of detailed data obtained from a powerful ten-meter telescope located in Hawaii, a team of scientists at Lund University in Sweden have made significant discoveries regarding three stars situated in the central region of the Milky Way galaxy. These stars were found to be unusually ...

ALMA’s observation of NGC 253 reveals significant molecular diversity and star formation, enhancing our knowledge of galactic processes. The ALMA radio telescope has detected more than 100 molecular species, including many indicative of different star formation and evolution processes, in a ga...

New findings reveal magnetic fields in three massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds, shedding light on the influence of magnetism on stellar evolution and the formation of neutron stars and black holes. The use of advanced spectropolarimetry techniques was crucial to overcome past observational chal...

New hints about the origins of the universe’s elements have been revealed by stars from the Large Magellanic Cloud. The universe was forever changed by the first generation of stars. Within their cores, basic hydrogen and helium fused into a diverse array of elements. When these stars met thei...

Webb discovered dozens of small, powerful galaxies from 800 million years ago that likely drove cosmic reionization by emitting strong ultraviolet radiation. Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered dozens of small galaxies that played a key role in reshaping the...

Unusually fast-moving gas clouds near a nearby galaxy suggest they may have come from outside the galaxy. Scientists have identified high-velocity gas clouds in the nearby spiral galaxy M83, moving at speeds that differ markedly from the galaxy’s normal rotational motion. These unusual velocities su...

NGC 3603-A1 is a pair of giant stars locked in a rapid 3.8-day orbit. Their dynamic relationship provides clues to how massive stars evolve and form black holes. A team of astronomers combined archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope with fresh observations to obtain precise measurements of the...

New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may already lie hidden in the Milky Way. For centuries, astronomers have tried to explain how globular clusters, among the oldest and densest stellar systems in the universe, first ...
