This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive hydrogen cloud, known as Eos, shining brightly in ultraviolet light near our solar system. This newly detected cloud offers fresh insights into how stars and ...

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.

A newborn planetary system is forming around HOPS-315, a protostar (one that recently formed) that sits some 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Orion the Hunter. This star isn’t in the ...

A Rutgers University research team in New Jersey spotted the newly found cloud, which was named Eos—after the Greek deity of dawn. Being only 300 light-years away, it is the closest known big ...

Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline silicates, since crystals require intense heat to form and these "dirty ...

Scientists have for the first time mapped both a spiral gas streamer and its magnetic field as they channel material onto the young binary star SVS13A, offering direct evidence of how magnetism shapes ...

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...
