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.

When a star is born it emerges from giant fluffy clouds, suggests a new study. Deep space observations by Japanese scientists ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from “fluffy” molecular clouds.

Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...

Images from ALMA telescope provide insight to the earlier years of our universe.

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...

Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.

Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...

Stars form in wide regions in space known as stellar nurseries, where dust and gas come together to give birth to new stars ...

“The data indicates that the youngest stars form in filaments of gas,” Loeb said. “Subsequently the gas cools and fragments ...

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 ...
