  • Close-up images show how stars explode in real time

    Astronomers have captured images of two stellar explosions—known as novae—within days of their eruption and in unprecedented detail. The breakthrough provides direct evidence that these explosions are more complex than previously thought, with multiple outflows of material and, in some cases, dramatic delays in the ejection process.

  • Comet 3I/ATLAS from beyond solar system carries key molecule for life

    Astronomers have discovered that 3I/ATLAS is carrying methanol and other chemicals that were probably important in the origin of life

  • An adolescent growth spurt in young stars helps giant planets form

    Stars form in massive clouds of gas called molecular clouds. As they form, they accrete gas from these clouds, and as the stars rotate, gas and dust accumulates in a rotating disk around the star called a protoplanetary disk. As the name makes clear, this is where planets form by accreting material from the disk.
