At the heart of some galaxies lie extremely bright spots—far too luminous to be lit by stars alone. Each glowing core ...

Astronomers have discovered a faint population of young stars extending far beyond the known edge of the nearby spiral galaxy ...

This starry view of the nearby star-forming region IC 348 is one of the largest images released to date from NASA's James ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found evidence that supermassive black holes suppress star formation in maturing galaxies. The team used the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) Near Infrared Camera ...

Black holes can suppress star formation, but nine nearby galaxies reveal how their outflows could also help trigger the birth ...

A new discovery from a team of astronomers provides a significant clue to star formation. The mystery of star formation in galaxies continues to intrigue astronomers worldwide. Yet a key question ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed unexpectedly rapid galaxy assembly in the early Universe, in tension with galaxy-formation models 1 – 3 . At the low abundances of heavy elements ...

The universe is still filled with an enormous amount of hydrogen — the basic raw material from which stars are ultimately made. So why are galaxies producing so many fewer stars than they once did?

This starry view of the nearby star-forming region IC 348 is one of the largest images from JWST released to the public so far.

When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images of the universe’s earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's Discovery of Extremely Low-Mass Brown Dwarfs and the Mystery of Star Formation in IC 348In ...

The findings could help solve the mystery of how the first stars formed. The roughly four-billion-year-old system consists of a black hole and two orbiting stars—a configuration that's never been seen ...
