Just as people of the same age can vary greatly in appearance and shape, so do collections of stars or stellar aggregates. New observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest that ...
Artist’s impression of a forming galaxy cluster in the early Universe: radio jets from active galaxies are embedded in a hot intracluster atmosphere (red), illustrating a large thermal reservoir of ...
A team of astrophysicists from Nanjing University and University of Bonn have demonstrated that, rather than being random, ...
Astronomers are drawing attention to a Christmas Tree-shaped cluster of stars glowing inside one of the Milky Way’s most active stellar nurseries. Known as the Cosmic Christmas Tree, the cluster sits ...
