Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

Researchers may have figured out how a crucial ingredient that cells need to produce energy could form in deep space. Calculations and lab experiments suggest that glyceric acid can arise from ...

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

I/ATLAS is a newly detected interstellar object that entered the solar system from outside our stellar neighborhood, ...

An encounter with a cold cloud of gas and dust could have caused our planet's "protective giant bubble" to draw back. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming discs around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have ...

The HI 21 cm data show that G165's WNM is not calm or featureless, as once assumed based on observations in the denser Galactic plane. Instead, it's supersonic and highly structured A team of ...
