Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of researchers including Paola Caselli, Barbara Michela Giuliano and Basile Husquinet from MPE, have probed deep into dense cloud cores, revealing ...

A team of astronomers has uncovered an unexpectedly complex and dynamic filamentary network within a very-high-velocity cloud (VHVC) in the Milky Way. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

The HI 21 cm data show that G165's WNM is not calm or featureless, as once assumed based on observations in the denser Galactic plane. Instead, it's supersonic and highly structured A team of ...

The birth of massive stars involves gravity, turbulence, and stellar feedback, all of which influence the flow of matter. Find out more here: ...

The discovery marks the first time a molecular cloud has been detected using light emitted in the far-ultraviolet spectrum. “This opens up new possibilities for studying the molecular universe,” said ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is unusually rich in alcohol — a chemical clue that could reveal how planets and icy bodies form around other stars.

A team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), has uncovered an unexpected and intricate network of tangled, supersonic filaments within a ...
