Webb reveals a bridge of stars linking two nearby dwarf galaxies, offering a look at how gravity reshapes galaxies and sparks ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers traced how Milky Way–like galaxies formed and changed over time.

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess ...

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 ...

Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular ...

Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered an extraordinary star, SDSS J0715-7334, which may be the most “pristine” object ever discovered. Located in the halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud, this star offers ...

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 ...

Theorists have long wondered how massive stars–up to 120 times the mass of the Sun–can form without blowing away the clouds of gas and dust that feed their growth. But the problem turns out to be less ...
