Globular clusters are dense groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that orbit galaxies such as the Milky Way.

New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may ...

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

In binary star systems, the behavior of protoplanetary disks presents complex challenges to existing models. A research team from the University of Grenoble Alpes, including Pedro P. Poblete, Nicolás ...

For generations, astronomers have pondered the origins of globular clusters, which are among the universe’s oldest and ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter. Using ultra-detailed simulations, researchers recreated their origins and ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

The birth of a new solar system may have been caught on camera. About 1,400 light-years from Earth sits a young sunlike star surrounded by cooling gas and teensy silicate minerals. These mineral ...
