Astronomers have made a historic discovery by directly detecting cosmic rays deep inside a dense, starless molecular cloud.
Cosmic rays inside a dense molecular cloud were measured for the first time, helping scientists better understand how stars begin forming.
Where starlight doesn't reach, new things are born: For the first time, an international research team has directly measured the effect of cosmic radiation in a cold molecular cloud. The observation ...
A team of astronomers are, in a manner of speaking, on cloud nine after discovering a never-before-seen astronomical object in the distant universe. Here's everything to know about Cloud-9, and how ...
The glowing region in this new image from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope is a reflection nebula known as IC 2631. These objects are clouds of cosmic dust that reflect light from a nearby star into ...
It has been a mystery for astronomers how certain dying stars have their colossal quantities of material blown out into the universe and shrink into objects called “white dwarves”. This is the basis ...
