"By putting together the individual results, like in a puzzle, we reconstruct the formation history of these systems." ...

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery about how young stars form in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy near the Milky Way. Using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and ...

XRISM has uncovered how galaxy clusters evolve—violent mergers create turbulence, preventing hot gas from cooling. This ...

Scientists used XRISM to detect hot gas flows in Centaurus Cluster, proving that galaxy collisions cause gas movement and ...

and super-clusters, are firmly in dark matter's grip. American astronomer Vera Rubin played a huge role in our modern ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The Phoenix galaxy cluster, located 5.8 billion light years from Earth, is producing stars at an unexpectedly high rate. Using the James Webb Space Telescope ...

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy. Using ...

The XRISM collaboration has discovered flows of hot gas in the core of the Centaurus Cluster. By comparing state-of-the-art X ...

Galaxies and clusters are the ensembles of stars and other astronomical objects bound together by gravitational forces. Galaxies are ordered into galaxy groups, which are in turn organised into ...

The core of a massive cluster of galaxies appears to be pumping out far more stars than it should. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a key ingredient within the cluster that ...
