Astronomers, through a decade-long infrared survey, have discovered a new type of elderly giant star and numerous protostars in the Milky Way. This groundbreaking study,…
The image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, shows a high-resolution view of the innermost parts of the Milky Way. In the new…
Image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth. This study reveals that the newly born stars in Rho Ophiuchi have…
Researchers have successfully applied gyrochronology, which links star rotation rates to their ages, to field stars outside of clusters. This method, tested on over 300…
This artist’s impression shows how hot, brilliant and high-mass stars evolve. The more massive brighter star expands first, until the outer layers start to strongly…
The Gaia mission, essential in mapping nearly two billion stars, is being further refined by EPFL’s research using asteroseismology. This innovative approach compares Gaia’s measurements…

Northwestern University scientists have developed the first 3D simulations to study the energy rippling from a massive star’s core to its outer surface, providing new…
Supercomputer simulations on Frontera reveal the origins of ultra-massive black holes, the most massive objects thought to exist in the entire universe. Shown here is…
Map of material distribution in the disk around protostar G358-MM1. The white “+” marks the location of the protostar. The contour lines indicate signal strength.…

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this image of a galaxy cluster (SMACS0723). The five zoomed in galaxies are so far away that we observe…
New research reveals that the mass of newly born stars (yellow, orange, and red circles stand for stars from higher to lower mass) varies with…
This image by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) features the central region of the Chameleon I dark molecular cloud, which resides…
Researchers have discovered new indications that red giants frequently experience large-scale structural variations, or “glitches,” in the inner core. Recent findings indicate that a significant…
The two stars in Wolf-Rayet 140 produce shells of dust every eight years that look like rings, as seen in this image from NASA’s James…
An artist’s illustration shows a white dwarf (right) circling a larger, sun-like star (left) in an ultra-short orbit, forming a “cataclysmic” binary system. Credit: M.Weiss/Center…
Artist’s impression of a BEASTie. The image shows a gas giant planet (like Jupiter) on a distant orbit around a blue, massive star. The planet…
A bright star is surrounded by a tenuous shell of gas in this unusual image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. U Camelopardalis, or U…
