A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...

A Christmas Tree-shaped star cluster inside NGC 2264 reveals active star formation 2,700 light-years from Earth.

Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made significant progress in understanding how three-dimensional (3D) layered structures form ...

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 ...

Christmas-themed imagery knows no bounds, not even in space. NASA has drawn comparison between a celestial formation and a holiday wreath, referring to the recently spotted star and dust cloud cluster ...

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Vienna has deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team, led by ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very brief and crucial stage." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to transform our understanding of the universe. By combining its advanced ...
