Most events in the universe are not fully understood, including the relatively simple process of star formation. Stars form in dense clouds of cold gas and dust. When these clouds reach a threshold ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered Population III stars, the universe's first generation of stars. They may tell us more about how galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

Webb data explains how heat-formed crystal minerals end up in icy comets by tracking their journey around a young, actively forming star.

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

The vast majority of stars form and reside within galaxies due to the presence of cold, dense molecular gas clouds conducive to star formation. True intergalactic space, characterized by low-density ...
