Could galaxies straight out of a computer fool even the most seasoned astronomers? That is the case with the COLIBRE ...
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered powerful winds blasting out of some of the universe’s ...
A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...
A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...
Researchers have developed a high-fidelity CPR simulator to study blood flow in reduced gravity, while astronomers have mapped the lifetimes of over 100,000 molecular clouds across 66 galaxies using ...
Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...
Is it a flying elephant? A gingerbread man? When I was little, I used to search the clouds for amusing shapes as they drifted across the sky and imagine stories about their patterns. Now I'm a ...
Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...
