Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.

The James Webb Space Telescope is investigating the Flame Nebula, hunting for "failed stars" to better understand how brown ...

As this nebula collapsed under its own gravity, it formed a rotating disk around the nascent Sun, referred to as the protoplanetary disk. Within this disk, particles collided and coalesced ...

As the Nebula collapsed, its temperature and rotation increased. The increased spin began to flatten the nebula, pressing atoms and molecules together into particles. The hottest point ...

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows a stunning and fashionable sight: the Sombrero Galaxy, named for its resemblance to the traditional Mexican hat. With its wide, flat shape ...

The Veil Nebula is roughly 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is the remnants of a star that was roughly 20 times as big as our sun and exploded about 10,000 years ago.

The nebula collapsed under its own gravity and, as it did, temperature and pressure increased. It became denser and rotated more rapidly, spiralling inwards. The hot core in the centre is called a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud of a young nebula alight with star formation on the hunt for "failed star" brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs are stellar ...
