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.

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

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

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

A cosmic filament, 3 million light-years long, has been directly imaged for the first time — offering a new glimpse into the ...
