This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline ...

A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud and called it "Eos." It is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope captured imagery of young star system ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive hydrogen cloud, known as Eos, shining brightly in ultraviolet light near our solar system. This newly detected cloud offers fresh insights into how stars and ...

Planets may begin forming much earlier than scientists once believed during the final stages of a star s birth, not afterward. This bold new model, backed by simulations from researchers at SwRI, ...

Webb data explains how heat-formed crystal minerals end up in icy comets by tracking their journey around a young, actively forming star.

"For the first time, we have identified the earliest moment when planet formation is initiated around a star other than our sun." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a recent study.

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...
