Using the Subaru Telescope, the CFHT and NASA’s GALEX, astronomers reveal unprecedented views of the star formation process of a Blue Supergiant star located in…
Using ALMA, scientists have detected signs of star formation near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Astronomers using the…
In a new study, scientists use Herschel data to view a giant cloud of gas and dust called Westerhout 3 and to study the early…
In a soon to be published paper, researchers at Vanderbilt University suggest that several million years ago the Milky Way was teaming with starforming and…
The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the transitional phase when young, star-forming galaxies settle to become massive, red and dead galaxies. The further…
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the Large Magellanic Cloud and the many star-forming regions within it. Nearly 200,000 light-years from Earth, the Large Magellanic…

Created from a combination of exposures from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys, this new Hubble image shows dwarf galaxy NGC 5477 and the clouds of…
Astronomers have discovered one of the oldest stars in the known universe. They believe it is at least 13.2 billion years old and formed shortly…
Using the ALMA telescope, scientists have made the first direct observations of the streams of gas that flow across a gap in the disc of…
SAO astronomers provide the first unambiguous evidence that Class I masers may be excited by both young (hot core) and older (UC H II) MYSOs…
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists discovered that globular clusters of the same age can have dramatically different distributions of blue straggler stars…
Vega is situated in the constellation Lyra, 25 light-years away from Earth, and it is the fifth brightest star in the sky. In 1983, astronomers…

Astronomers discovered dust around an unusual class of interacting binary stars, a highly magnetic white dwarf star that is Earth-sized but weighs about 60 percent…
Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a team of scientists have discovered a band of stars, named the Triangulum stream, in the southern Galactic sky…
R Sculptoris, an elderly star, located 1,500 light-years from Earth, has been observed in the final stages of stellar life, slowly shedding the outer layers…
