Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high ...

The outer arm of the spiral in this huge, oddly shaped stellar nursery — called NGC 346 — may be feeding star formation in a river-like motion of gas and stars.

Image: This computer-simulated image shows the formation of two high density regions (yellow) in the early universe, approximately 200 million years after the Big Bang.

The shapes of clouds and, ultimately, star formation are influenced by how gas flows within them. Going forward, my colleagues and I are incorporating colors into our 3-D prints to explore the ...

COLUMBIA, Md., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Astronomers are still trying to understand how stars and galaxies formed in the early universe. Now, scientists, using the Stratospheric Observatory for ...

"We're finding star formation in the early universe is much more complicated than we thought," added Rieke. These results are being reported at the 242 nd meeting of the American Astronomical ...

Everything that we can see and detect — the stars and galaxies — only makes up a puny 5% of the universe, whereas dark matter comprises 25%.

The computational framework, called STARFORGE (Star Formation in Gaseous Environments), simulates a gas cloud 100 times the mass of any simulation previously possible and includes details such as ...

Second, it was a lot darker because stars and galaxies had not yet formed. Back then, the universe was composed of dark matter (whatever is it) and neutral hydrogen and helium.

These galaxies [reveal star formation] at an extraordinary rate, when the universe was very young. I don’t think anyone expected us to find galaxies like this so early in the history of the ...

Compared with other observed galaxies in the early universe, A1689-zD1 doesn’t make a lot of stars — only about 30 suns each year — meaning the galaxy isn’t very bright to our telescopes.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a black hole that actually contribued to star formation, rather than demolishing them, in a dwarf galaxy 30 million light-years from Earth.
