Artist conception of early starbursting galaxies. The image is rendered from FIRE simulation data used for this research that can explain recent JWST results. Stars and galaxies are shown in the ...

One of the farthest known quasars seems to have shut down the creation of new stars in all the galaxies within its vicinity. A quasar is a powerful source of light, created by torrid gas orbiting a ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers have found new ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

When a star is born, it doesn’t emerge in isolation. Instead, it forms inside a large, chaotic cloud of gas and dust. Around it, a flat disk of spinning material takes shape. This protoplanetary disk ...

After the Big Bang, dark matter clumped together, traces of which are said to exist. Because they cannot be detected from ...

Star formation is in business in a pair of merging galaxies recently photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The spiral galaxies UGC 05028 and UGC 05029 — collectively known as Arp 300 — are in ...

The astronomers will continue to study these stars to learn more about their size and age, which will inform research into the process of star formation in Sagittarius B2. The new images still leave ...

When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images of the universe’s earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature ...
