Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers has discovered a surprisingly weak and wildly disorganized magnetic field very near a newly…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers view the Boomerang Nebula – a pre-planetary nebula produced by a dying star. This Picture of Week…
Using ALMA, astronomers have found traces of methyl isocyanate — a chemical building block of life – around Sun-like stars at a very early stage…
First radio observations of the planetary-mass object OTS44 reveal a dusty protoplanetary disk that is very similar to disks around young stars. Astronomers are surprised…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has made the first complete millimeter-wavelength image of the ring of dusty debris…
This newly released ALMA image shows a newborn star enshrouded in dust. This intriguing image may look like a collection of colored blobs, but it…
Using the ALMA submillimeter array, a team of astronomers form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have found evidence for shocked gas near the nucleus of…
In a newly published study, astronomers reveal details about the recently discovered the planetary body 2014 UZ224. They used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to…
Astronomers have detected the presence of two planets in formation around the young star HD 169142, which is about 470 light-years away. The two planets…
Using ALMA, a team of astronomers has detected a huge mass of glowing stardust in a galaxy seen when the Universe was only four percent…
This ALMA image of the week shows the binary star system of LL Pegasi and its companion. Although it looks like the pattern of a…
This composite image shows Supernova 1987A, one of the brightest supernovae detected since the invention of the telescope. Three decades ago, astronomers spotted one of…
By using data from telescopes, astronomers — and the public — can explore SN 1987A like never before. Three decades ago, astronomers spotted one of…
