Map shows cosmic gas web extending through the heart of the Milky Way
Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed map of the cosmic gas web that spans the heart of the Milky Way, revealing filaments that resemble rivers of matter flowing through space.
Anomaly Discovered in the Center of the Milky Way, for Which There is No Known Counterpart in Space
Scientists have created the most detailed 3D map of chaotic gas clouds surrounding the central black hole of the Milky Way galaxy using the ALMA telescope.
New image reveals 'extraordinary' detail of Milky Way's central zone
A new image from the ALMA telescope offers unprecedented detail of the Milky Way's central zone, potentially enhancing our understanding of star formation.
Supermassive black holes are serial killers of galaxies
New research suggests that active supermassive black holes can 'kill' their host galaxies and nearby ones, resembling serial killers by extending their destructive impact across vast distances.
Discovery of organic compound in a distant star cloud reinforces hypothesis of life's seeds spreading in the universe
Scientists have discovered the organic compound methenamine in a distant star-forming nebula, suggesting early chemical precursors to life might emerge in star systems.
The Rose Nebula: A Cosmic Painting Overflowing with Life and Glowing Gases
The article explores the Rose Nebula, detailing its formation, significance, and the ongoing processes within star clusters and nebulae.
This is how a star dies and a black hole is born: scientists captured an extraordinary event
Astronomers have recorded the unusual transformation of a massive star directly into a black hole without a typical supernova explosion.
Fleeing the rule, star seemingly transforms into black hole without explosion
A study suggests that the formation of a black hole can occur quietly without the violent explosion typically associated with such events.
The planetary system that "should not exist". New discovery questions the theory of planet formation
Scientists have discovered a surprising arrangement of four planets orbiting the star LHS 1903, challenging existing theories of planet formation.
Hubble Reveals a Dazzling Stellar Nursery (video)
The Hubble Space Telescope captures images of a nebula where newborn stars illuminate and sculpt their surroundings in a nearby galaxy.
Black hole in a galaxy halts star formation
A black hole in the galaxy VV 340a is expelling vast amounts of superheated material, which prevents the formation of new stars, providing insight into the effects of black holes on star creation.
