Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...

A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

The simulation run by Hayashi and his colleagues sheds new light on the complex physics of binary neutron star mergers, showing that when these mergers are followed by the formation of black holes, ...

For decades, scientists have studied how planets form by looking at young stars nearby, assuming that these environments could be representative of all star systems. However, as astronomers discover ...

Stargazers are in for a treat this December with the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264), a stunning formation of young stars that resemble an evergreen tree. Visible between the constellations Orion ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming stars at an intense rate from collapsing clouds of dust. Reported in ...

the constellation Orion with the Orion Nebula Cluster as the central “star” in the sword of Orion, the Pleiades and the Hyades. All three open clusters are highlighted by large yellow circles. Orion ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very brief and crucial stage." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
