A new set of supercomputer simulations published June 5, 2026 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has provided the most quantitatively precise confirmation yet of why binary star ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act ...

Massive stars much bigger than our sun always come in pairs or groups, not alone. But astronomers don't fully understand how these groupings form. In a new study, astronomers using ALMA have ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, found a source in the process of becoming a Little Red Dot, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Little Red Dots are likely early galaxies and some of the ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope is giving astronomers a striking look at young stars forming 1,280 ...

A single infrared frame from the James Webb Space Telescope now shows young stars at every recognized stage of formation, ...
