The Wolfe Disk, a massive rotating disk galaxy in the early universe, was discovered in 2017 when a stargazing project in the Chilean desert examined light from a distant quasar (top left) absorbed in ...
Astronomers have finally identified where the Milky Way’s star-making activity fades, uncovering a long-sought boundary in ...
What specific processes are responsible for planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of ...
European astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe ...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) found a young star surrounded by an astonishing mass of gas. The star, called 49 Ceti, is 40 million years old and ...
The Milky Way may not have a sharp edge, but scientists have now found where its star-forming activity largely comes to an ...
When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, tidal forces tear it apart, producing a bright flare of radiation as material from the star falls into the black hole. Astronomers study the ...
