Investigations of the Herbig-Haro 34 jet system have revealed the existence of a time lag between two jets shooting out of the same star. The phenomenon takes place even if the two jet are symmetrical. Experts say that the time delay spans about 4 and a half years. The two jets are both made up of gas and dust knots,... |

Astronomers operating the Herschel Space Observatory say that they were able to use the instrument's amazing observations power to conduct an investigation of the early Universe, which revealed forming galaxies that were producing new stars at impressive rates and scales. The new study was only made possible by ... |

The international astronomical community is current in doubts whether a recently-found extrasolar planet actually exists, or whether it is simply a fluke in long-term calculations. If the body is indeed real, then many of our theories on how planets form around stars may need revising. The peculiar object was discove... |

Using data collected with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO VLT), researchers were recently able to discover two protoplanetary disks. Both of the structures caught the eyes of astronomers because they were orbiting their respective parent stars at about the same distance that Earth c... |

Scientists at the Michigan State University (MSU) recently used the famous Chandra X-ray telescope to peer deep within the Universe, and discover one of the most peculiar galaxies out there today. The space formation features stellar nurseries, just like any other normal galaxy, but it does not include them within it... |

Just a few thousands of years after the early Sun appeared from a collapsed cloud of space gas and dust, a protoplanetary disk started forming around it. This structure was made of various types of debris, such as dust that was left after the star ignited. As it was revolving around the new, hot celestial body, the d... |

There was a time in astronomy when, if investigators wanted to catch a closer glimpse of a certain phenomenon, they simply had to wait for it again. These days are long gone, they say now, with the advent of modern physics and of the ability to create simulations of these occurrences by using lasers. This was done re... |

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have recently made a new addition to their arsenal of breathtaking images, when they have used their Chile-based facility to gain a new, highly detailed image of the Trifid Nebula, also known as the Trisected Nebula. The formation, located some 5,500 light-years ... |

Researchers at the Paris Observatory in France have managed to discover faint magnetic fields around young stars, which seem to originate back in the time of the Big Bang, they say. The stars are yet too young to have formed a field of their own, and the team is convinced they have come across a strong evidence of th... |

Latest observations conducted with the NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer UV space telescope reveal young stars forming in the outer regions of the galaxy, some 100,000 light years away from the galactic nucleus. The galaxy in question is known as M83, a spiral galaxy located about 15 million light-years away, sou... |
