Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

Located about 1,300 light-years from Earth, these young stars, also known as protostars, reside in a hotbed for star formation: the Orion Nebula, which is the nearest massive star-forming region to ...

conducted with ESA's Herschel Space Observatory. The object visible in the upper-right corner of this image is HOPS 150: it's a binary star system where two young protostars orbit each other.

Herschel space observatory. When low- to middleweight stars like our Sun approach the end of their lives they eventually become dense, white dwarf stars. In the process, they cast off their outer ...

Current astronomy projects include characterizing warm molecular gas in galaxies detected with the Herschel Space Observatory, detailed investigations of molecular gas morphology, dynamics, and ...

Alboslani and Brunker also used data from the Submillimeter Array and Herschel Space Observatory to compare the structures seen in the X-ray echoes to those seen in other wavelengths. Because X ...

The Cone Nebula is a massive pillar of gas and dust located in the Monoceros constellation, within a region where stars are actively forming. The image, taken by the European Space Observatory's ...
