The telescope continues to uncover previously unknown pockets of outer space. The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from the University of Florida and elsewhere have performed infrared observations of a star-forming cloud known as Sagittarius B2. Results of ...

A nearby galaxy is ablaze with new stars in a dazzling new image from the James Webb Space Telescope. Located 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canis Major, this barred spiral ...

Archival ALMA data revealed a large, expanding bubble near the protoplanetary disk of the young star WSB 52, located approximately 441 light-years away. The bubble's formation is hypothesized to ...

Astronomers have identified a compact, superheated galaxy in the early universe that is churning out new suns at roughly 180 times the rate of the Milky Way, turning a tiny patch of sky into a cosmic ...

A mysterious region near the center of the Milky Way has captured the attention of astronomers. Known as Sagittarius C, this strange place holds thousands of newborn stars, huge clouds of gas, and ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

To understand how the universe was formed and how we got here, ancient stars are some of the best objects to study — yet astronomers know surprisingly little about the conditions in which they were ...
