An international team of astronomers including researchers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has unveiled groundbreaking findings about the disks of gas and dust surrounding ...

In the early universe, the first galaxies began to take shape roughly a million years after the Big Bang. Within these young systems, stars formed from vast reservoirs of cold gas, gradually building ...

Astronomers have obtained the clearest view yet of a young gas giant shaping the environment where it formed, revealing the ...

Astronomers using ALMA have uncovered how gas and dust in planet-forming disks evolve separately an insight that reshapes our understanding of how different types of planets form. While dust lingers, ...

Check out the stunning new images of planet-forming disks around young stars. These observations showcase 86 young stars from three gas clouds in our Milky Way galaxy. The European Southern ...

The finding validates a long-suspected feedback mechanism enabling a supermassive black hole to influence the evolution of its host galaxy. “This is the first study directly connecting a galaxy’s ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud and called it "Eos." It is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.

A1689-zD1, a galaxy seen 700 million years after the Big Bang (background), with the ALMA-detected [O I] line shown as contours and a spectrum. This is one of four galaxies studied in this paper. In ...
