Its cosmic corsage tells a story of death and rebirth. Within a few million years — a blink of an eye in the universe’s life — the gas and dust will either become budding young stars and planetary ...

New Webb Telescope data uncovers missing gas that enables star formation in the Phoenix cluster, solving a cosmic puzzle.

Doradus 30, also known as 30 Doradus or the Tarantula Nebula, is a massive star-forming region located in the Large ...

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

RCW 38 lies approximately 5,500 light-years away in the constellation Vela. Unlike many star clusters that appear as simple ...

Enormous Galaxy Clusters Found to be 1.3 Billion Light-Years Wide, Deemed to be The Largest Known Structure In a monumental ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently made observations about galaxy clusters that will help shape our ...

In 1920, astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis held a Great Debate. Shapley argued that the spiral nebulae were small and in the Milky Way, while Curtis took a more radical position that they ...

Views of a massive galaxy cluster Abell 2256 have been captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA’s XMM-Newton and three radio telescopes (LOFAR, the GMRT and the VLA). See a composite of all ...

Astronomers have pinpointed an FRB outside a dead galaxy for the first time, challenging existing models that link FRBs to star-forming regions. Using the CHIME/FRB Outriggers, they suspect the burst ...

New findings explain the Phoenix cluster's mysterious starburst. Data confirm the cluster is actively cooling and able to generate a huge amount of stellar fuel on its own.
