Scientists have pierced through a dusty stellar nursery to capture the earliest and most detailed view of a collapsing gas cloud turning into a star, analogous to a baby’s first ultrasound. The ...

Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, it is less mysterious with new findings from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. NGC 346, one of the ...

Researchers said the findings may also help scientists better understand how planets form around stars.

A stunning corner of the cosmos was recently revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope, and astronomers think the find will unveil more about the mysteries of both star and planet formation. Hiding ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has helped scientists peek into the secrets of galactic evolution — and the view is stunning, too.

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...

Observations by the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed extreme quasar winds at the dawn of time. Supermassive black ...

For a long time, scientists thought that only actively star-forming galaxies should be observed in the very early Universe. The James Webb space telescope now reveals that galaxies stopped forming ...

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) first delivered unprecedented images of some of the universe’s earliest galaxies, it left astronomers scratching their heads. These distant galaxies, which ...

Starting from the upper left and moving clockwise from large to small scales: upper left —"spiral-like" system; upper right — "bar-like" structure; lower right — rotating infalling envelope; lower ...
