Astronomers Discover Baby Planets Taking Their First Steps in Nearby Stellar Nursery
Astronomers have detected early signs of planet formation in 27 young protoplanetary disks within the Ophiuchus star-forming region, just 460 light-years away. High-resolution imaging revealed spiral and ring patterns forming earlier than expected, suggesting stars and planets may grow together from infancy. The findings bridge a knowledge gap betw...

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Hourglass Nebula LBN 483 in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented details of LBN 483, a nebula located 650 light-years away. The striking hourglass-shaped structure results from outflows driven by a forming binary star system. JWST’s infrared imaging and ALMA’s radio observations reveal how stellar winds, jets, and magnetic fields sculpt the nebula ove...

Mysterious Icy Objects Found in Milky Way Baffle Astronomers: Everything You Need to Know
Astronomers have identified mysterious icy objects in the outer Milky Way, raising questions about their nature. These structures, composed of ice and gas, are located in a region where star formation is rare. Despite early detections dating back to 2006-2011, recent observations using the AKARI space telescope and the ALMA array in Chile have prov...

Trillions of Comets Found in 74 Alien Star Systems, Unveiling Exocomets and Planetary Belts
A discovery of trillions of comets in 74 star systems has opened new doors for understanding the role of exocomets in planetary water sources. The planetesimal belts, detected using ALMA and SMA telescopes, offer crucial insights into the evolution of planetary systems and the potential for life-supporting water on distant planets. This research pa...

NASA Finds Black Hole Rotating at Unexpected Angle in NGC 5084 Galaxy
NASA researchers have uncovered a black hole in the NGC 5084 galaxy that rotates at an unexpected angle, revealed through re-analysed Chandra X-ray data. The black hole is surrounded by unusual X-shaped plasma plumes, indicating disruptions in the galaxy's past. A tipped dusty disk further supports this, confirming the black hole's unique sideways ...

Ancient Galaxy Collisions May Explain Formation of Massive Early Star Systems
Research published in Nature reveals that ancient galaxy collisions may have led to the creation of the universe’s largest star systems. Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists studied over 100 galaxies undergoing intense star formation. These collisions are believed to have occurred 8 to 12 billion yea...
