A passing star may have kicked the weird moons of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn into place, new research suggests.
Webb Telescope captured stunning images of the Extreme Outer Galaxy. The findings show young star clusters, protostars, and ...
Researchers have conducted detailed infrared observations of a recently formed stellar cluster in a giant molecular cloud designated G148.24+00.41. Results of the observational campaign ...
NGC 3312 is located front and center in the new image, surrounded by bright stars and galaxies. A smudge of interstellar material can be seen at the lower right of the galaxy, suggesting it is being ...
Stellar cluster NGC 1333 is home to a large number of brown dwarfs. Astronomers will use Webb's powerful infrared instruments to learn more about these dim cousins to the cluster's bright newborn ...
“The chemical composition and the distribution of stellar masses in globular clusters capture the earliest steps in our galaxy’s formation and evolution,” he said. “Yet, virtually ...
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope depicts the "extreme outer galaxy" in unprecedented detail, NASA researchers ...
Researchers have conducted detailed infrared observations of a recently formed stellar cluster in a giant molecular cloud designated G148.24+00.41. Results of the observational campaign ...
No Gargantua dwells at the heart of stellar cluster NGC 6397. Instead, a few dozen smaller black holes seem to be swarming around in there, throwing their considerable masses around. Astronomers ...
Chalk Circle cofounder Megan Carmitchel co-stars in the production with San Diego newcomer Nick Apostolina, who made his ...
Bottke, who wasn't part of the study, noted that "such an incredibly close passage, even from the era when our solar system was in a stellar cluster, seems very unlikely from a probability ...
