Stars emerge from vast regions of gas and dust known as molecular clouds. These stellar nurseries, often spanning hundreds of ...
New evidence suggests that conditions in the early universe may have shaped star formation in surprising ways.
Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...
Researchers at Kyushu University have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from “fluffy” molecular clouds.
Images from ALMA telescope provide insight to the earlier years of our universe.
Deep space observations by Japanese scientists have given new insights into star formation in early universe-like ...
Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...
“The data indicates that the youngest stars form in filaments of gas,” Loeb said. “Subsequently the gas cools and fragments ...
Astronomers have discovered that many infant stars born in stellar nurseries of the early universe may have preferred "fluffy" stellar blankets.
resulting in the fluffy cloud. If the molecular cloud retains its filamentary shape, it is more likely to break up along its long "string" and form many stars like our Sun, a low-mass star with ...
