Dracula's Chivito was detected by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and is located about 1,000 light-years from Earth.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever observed circling a young ...

Nestled 1,000 light-years from Earth, a massive, chaotic disk is offering scientists a unique glimpse into the birthplace of ...

This results in a composition that is “unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent.” “These new Hubble images show that planet nurseries can be much more active and chaotic than we expected,” Kristina Monsch, ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the biggest planet-forming disk ever discovered. The finding reveals violent chaos ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was involved in yet another first discovery recently available in pre-print form on ...

Astronomers may have caught the first stages of planets being born around infant stars. The team discovered previously unseen rings, spirals and other substructures in the swirling, plate-like ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

What appears to be a cosmic tornado is actually a Herbig-Haro jet. Material is ejected from a young star perpendicular to a protoplanetary disk, thought to be driven by the magnetic fields interacting ...

Many newly formed stars are surrounded by what are called protoplanetary disks, swirling masses of warm dust and gas that can constitute the core of a developing solar system. Proof of the existence ...

Archival ALMA data revealed a large, expanding bubble near the protoplanetary disk of the young star WSB 52, located approximately 441 light-years away. The bubble's formation is hypothesized to ...

"The extraordinary results are an essential step toward understanding the initial conditions that lead to the formation of Earth-like planets." Infant planets are ravenous little blighters that ...
