How Are Solar Systems Born? Many of us remember those school-room models of our Solar System, with tiny wooden planets rotating at the ends of…
Analyzing data obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), researchers found a galaxy with a spiral morphology only 1.4 billion years after the Big…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers found a rotating baby galaxy 1/100th the size of the Milky Way at a time when the…
Astronomers found a number of stellar eggs containing baby stars around the center of the Milky Way using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Previous…
Jovian jet streams above the cloud tops measured using the aftermath of comet collision. Working with a team led by French astronomers, Southwest Research Institute…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner, a team of astronomers have directly measured winds…
To come into being, galaxies need a steady diet of cold gases to undergo gravitational collapse. The larger the galaxy, the more cold gas it…
An international team of scientists has discovered planet formation in a star system younger than 500,000 years old. The find, published in Nature, is a…
Scientists from Cardiff University peer 12 billion years into the past to reveal distant galaxy with an unexpected appearance. Scientists have challenged our current understanding…
Detailed observations of molecular gas in a tidal dwarf galaxy have important implications for our understanding of how stars are formed. A lot is known…
Galaxies begin to “die” when they stop forming stars, but until now astronomers had never clearly glimpsed the start of this process in a far-away…
In September, a team led by astronomers in the United Kingdom announced that they had detected the chemical phosphine in the thick clouds of Venus….
A unique stage of planetary system evolution has been imaged by astronomers, showing fast-moving carbon monoxide gas flowing away from a star system over 400…
Massive galaxies were already much more mature in the early universe than previously expected. This is the conclusion of an international team of astronomers who…
When the Universe was only a tenth of its current age its galaxies experienced a growth spurt. It was this period that the scientists in…
Massive galaxies were already much more mature in the early universe than previously expected. This was shown by an international team of astronomers who studied…
NASA scientists identified a molecule in Titan’s atmosphere that has never been detected in any other atmosphere. In fact, many chemists have probably barely heard…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers spotted a pair of massive baby stars growing in salty cosmic soup. Each star is shrouded by…
