James Webb Space Telescope Finds Unexpected Ultraviolet Radiation Around Young Protostars
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected unexpected ultraviolet radiation around five young protostars in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. Since infant stars are not expected to emit UV light, the finding challenges long-standing star-formation models. Researchers ruled out external illumination from nearby stars, concluding the...

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...

Catch: Since Ophiuchus is all the buzz
If it is Internet buzz that keeps you informed, then you've heard of new kid on the block - Ophiuchus. The new zodiac sign that is playing havoc with who you've always believed you were. Confused? Oh trust me, so am I. For more years than I would like to forget I have been a Gemini. I even have a baby book. And just when I, and those around m...
