Stories about: star formation  

Astronomers say some galaxies lose their gas reserves in the blink of an eye, kick the bucket shortly after

The cometary globule, located at a distance of about 1,300 light-years from our planet, goes by the name of CG4

The gas that comprises these bubbles is moving at 2 million miles per hour (3 million kilometers per hour)

Study finds high-energy jets originating from supermassive black holes can toy with galaxies' star-forming fuel

The galaxy, known as NGC 4102, is located at a distance of about 68.8 million light-years from our planet

The stars, which form the MY Camelopardalis binary system, now sit mind-bogglingly close to one another

Astronomers say the galaxy is blasting out gas at a speed of 2 million miles per hour (3.2 million kilometers per hour)

This study into the makeup of galaxies far, far away broke the previous record distance by 500 million light-years

The galaxy, located at a distance of 12.5 billion light-years from our planet, is described as a cosmic powerhouse

Having come together, the cosmic marionettes formed a humongous star that is now cloaked in gas and dust

Radio-frequency-emitting particles originating from black holes appear to prevent the formation of new stars in galaxies

Cosmic jets are among the universe’s most spectacular phenomena, can measure several light years in length

Astronomers find small galaxies in the proximity of the Milky Way are all out of star-forming hydrogen gas

The molecule was found by researchers using the ALMA Observatory to study a star-forming region dubbed Sagittarius B2

Monster galaxies are not very interested in birthing new stars, grow by sucking in smaller galaxies in their proximity

Such clouds have never before been found on a body orbiting a star other than our Sun

Stars birthed by the same cosmic cloud all have an unique makeup, astronomers say
