Close stellar encounters could change the structure of our planetary system, potentially dooming Earth or other worlds to ...

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, presented ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured high-resolution images of the Bullet Cluster, revealing its complex dynamics.

By analyzing the data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, Chinese astronomers have investigated a globular cluster known as ...

Using the Gaia space telescope, astronomers have observed 55 massive stars ejected from their home star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud at speeds equivalent to 80 times the speed of sound.

This image shows the RCW 38 stellar cluster in visible light. Dust absorbs most light at these wavelengths, hiding large areas of this cluster from us. ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2.

The researchers studying 15 years of observed data from the cluster found that what they thought was one star was in fact a stellar pair, due to the regular variations in its velocity.

Seven strangely-behaving stars in the Milky Way's Omega Centauri cluster may be under the influence of an extremely rare type of black hole, new research suggests.
