Millions of years ago, our Solar System sailed through the Orion Complex, part of the vast Radcliffe Wave structure. This ...

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

Trained on the spectacular Flame Nebula, the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes went hunting for the smallest stars in ...

Our Solar System is in motion and cruises at about 200 kilometres per second relative to the center of the Milky Way.

This Hubble mosaic is the highest resolution image ever made of the entire Crab Nebula, which is located 6,500 light-years away. These opaque, dark knots of gas and dust called "Bok globules" are ...

How do rogue planetary-mass objects, celestial bodies that fall between planets and stars in size, come into existence? An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University ...

The bright variable star V 372 Orionis takes center stage in this Hubble Space Telescope image, which has also captured a smaller companion star in the upper left of this image.

The JWST’s latest images showcase LBN 483, a nebula shaped by dynamic stellar interactions and magnetic fields.

LBN 483 is particularly interesting in that it does not seem to be part of a larger star-forming region like the Orion Nebula, and so as an isolated spot of starbirth it may operate on slightly ...

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s but it was stopped because of ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System traveled through a densely populated galactic region and was exposed to increased interstellar dust.
