New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may ...

Globular clusters are dense groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that orbit galaxies such as the Milky Way.

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

In binary star systems, the behavior of protoplanetary disks presents complex challenges to existing models. A research team from the University of Grenoble Alpes, including Pedro P. Poblete, Nicolás ...

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter. Using ultra-detailed simulations, researchers recreated their origins and ...

For generations, astronomers have pondered the origins of globular clusters, which are among the universe’s oldest and ...

Over the course of more than two decades, researchers at the University of Bern have developed the so-called "Bern model," a ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS spacecraft close flyby SwRI mission has gained global attention. Scientists propose a mission to ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
