Researchers at MSU found that H₃⁺ can form in unexpected ways. They studied molecules hit by high-energy light.

Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...

NASA is set to launch SPHEREx, a groundbreaking telescope that will create the most precise and colorful map of the universe.

New evidence suggests that conditions in the early universe may have shaped star formation in surprising ways.

In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies about 5.5 billion ...

H3+, known as "the molecule that made the universe," plays a crucial role in interstellar chemistry and the birth of stars.

An international research team, including the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has for the first time used numerical simulations ...

Stars form in wide regions in space known as stellar nurseries, where dust and gas come together to give birth to new stars ...

Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

These results could provide new insights into the formation of stars in the universe. Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce ...
