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 ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...

Astronomers have developed a new model for simulating how clusters of baby stars form and evolve, helping to explain how bubbles of ionized gas are created away from the heart of a galaxy. Stellar ...

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 ...

Astronomers use simulations to discover how globular clusters form and reveal a new type of star system near the Milky Way.

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

The Oyster Star Cluster, also known as NGC 602, shines brilliantly in a new image shared by NASA, showcasing its mesmerizing beauty in various wavelengths of light. This cluster is located near the ...

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 ...

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 ...
