Stellar Egg Hunt: Tracing Evolution From Embryo to Baby Star
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) took a census of stellar eggs in the constellation Taurus and revealed their evolution state. This census…

Radio astronomers have detected jets of hot gas blasted out by a black hole in the galaxy at the heart of the Phoenix Galaxy Cluster,…
New light has been shed on a mysterious and long-standing conundrum at the very heart of our galaxy. The new work offers a potential solution…
A mystery surrounding the space around our solar system is unfolding thanks to evidence of supernovae found in deep-sea sediments. Professor Anton Wallner, a nuclear…
The most massive stars in the universe are born inside cosmic clouds of gas and dust, where they leave behind clues about their lives for…
Solar flares emit sudden, strong bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun’s surface and its atmosphere, and eject plasma and energetic particles into inter-planetary space….
Enstatite chondrite meteorites, once considered ‘dry,’ contain enough water to fill the oceans — and then some. A new study finds that Earth’s water may…
Over one hundred years ago, on May 29, 1919, astronomers observed a total solar eclipse in an ambitious effort to test Albert Einstein’s general theory…
First clear confirmation of accretion disk formation in a tidal disruption event without x-ray emissions supports theoretical predictions. When a star passes too close to…
Maunakea Observatories Discover Three Pairs of Merging Supermassive Black Holes A cosmic dance between two merging galaxies, each one containing a supermassive black hole that’s…
Until now, these flows of material had been detected only in other wavelength ranges, such as X-rays or the visible, depending on the phase in…
Exhaustive emissions modeling by global physicists narrows down particle candidates. The detection more than a decade ago by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope of…
A new letter has been found in the mysterious alphabet of black holes. Two astrophysicists share this discovery in the journal Nature Communications. Black holes…
Astronomers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-wide field-of-view images of the distant Universe captured by the Subaru Telescope, and have achieved a very high…
Meteorites give us insight into the early development of the solar system. Using the SAPHiR instrument at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II)…
Our solar system has one habitable planet — Earth. A new study shows other stars could have as many as seven Earth-like exoplanets in the…
Researchers simulate thousands of worlds to see what happens to planets with hydrogen atmospheres. When telescopes became powerful enough to find planets orbiting distant stars,…
New observations by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest that the unexpected dimming of the supergiant star Betelgeuse was most likely caused by an immense…
