Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has explored young stellar objects (YSOs) in an open cluster known as NGC 346. The study, published April 24 on ...

But astronomers routinely measure the speeds of stellar objects. How they do it, it turns out, is grounded in everyday experience. Ever noticed how the pitch of an ambulance's siren or a train's ...

A new study examines how much material from the closest star system to Earth will end up in orbit around the Sun, and how ...

The research trio explains that infrared data has shown that both objects have absorbed dust and ice, which is typically something seen in young stellar objects—or in background stars positioned ...
