Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

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 ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a globular cluster known as NGC 1754 as part of a systematic study of the most massive and compact clusters in the Large Magellanic ...

Christmas-themed imagery knows no bounds, not even in space. NASA has drawn comparison between a celestial formation and a holiday wreath, referring to the recently spotted star and dust cloud cluster ...

On the left, an artist’s impression of a globular cluster near its birth, hosting extremely massive stars with powerful stellar winds that enrich the cluster with elements processed at extremely high ...

Galaxies like our Milky Way with its 100 billion stars are usually not found in isolation. In the Universe today, 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, many are in dense clusters of tens, hundreds or ...

A group of researchers from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), under the direction of Markus Koch, have, for the first time, monitored in real time the ...
