Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope to look back in time have found the earliest evidence of the universe ...

Such hydrogen atoms may eventually transform into molecular gas, the basic fuel for star formation. Therefore, these cold gas structures are key to the conditions that enable star formation and are of ...

In new images, scientists have gotten the closest look yet at Sagittarius C -- a 'stellar nursery' where clouds of gas and dust have collapsed to form thousands of new stars.

Sagittarius C is one of the most extreme environments in the Milky Way galaxy. This cloudy region of space sits about 200 ...

Astronomers have found early evidence of the Universe’s transformation from a foggy, opaque state to a transparent one, ...

For now, researchers think the light might be coming from the first stars to exist, or outflows from a supermassive black ...

The first galaxies in the Universe were born enshrouded in a “foggy” gas, and could not be seen clearly until they had cleared up this fog. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers ...

New observations have revealed early signs of UV light illuminating the cosmos more than 13 billion years ago.

Learn about a new observation of a galaxy emitting ultraviolet light that broke through the early universe's dense fog.

"We report the discovery of one of the most distant galaxies known to date," astrophysicist Joris Witstok told Newsweek.

New observations with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile reveal the earliest-ever "baby pictures" of our universe, ...

Astronomers have made the surprising discovery of oxygen and elements like heavy metals in the most distant known galaxy ... typically begin from huge gas clouds that collapse and rotate, filling ...
