Inside the dark heart of the Eagle
Herschel has peered inside an unseen stellar nursery and revealed surprising amounts of activity. Some 700 newly-forming stars are estimated to be crowded into filaments of dust stretching through the image. View More (2009-12-17)
Feuding helium dwarfs exposed by eclipse
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found a unique feuding double white dwarf star system where each star appears to have been stripped down to just its helium. View More (2011-05-25)
Dust clouds in cosmic cycle
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". View More (2007-04-05)
Glasgow astronomers explain hot star disks
Astronomers have been puzzled for decades as to how the rings of hot gas surrounding certain types of star are formed. Now a team of scientists from the Universities of Glasgow and Wisconsin believe they have found the answer. The team studied a type of young, hot star, known as a "Be star", that has a disk of glowing gas around it, similar to the rings surrounding Saturn. Until now, no one has... View More (2002-11-01)
The enigma of the missing stars in space may be solved
New stars are born in the Universe around the clock - on the Milky Way, currently about ten per year. From the birth rate in the past, we can generally calculate how populated space should actually be. View More (2010-11-19)
Hubble yields direct proof of stellar sorting in a globular cluster
A seven year study with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided astronomers with the best observational evidence yet that globular clusters sort out stars according to their mass, governed by a gravitational billiard ball game between stars. View More (2006-10-25)
From Star Wars to science fact: Tatooine-like planet discovered
Although cold and gaseous rather than a desert world, the newfound planet Kepler-16b is still the closest astronomers have come to discovering Luke Skywalker's home world of Tatooine. View More (2011-09-16)
VLT takes most detailed infrared image of the Carina Nebula
Deep in the heart of the southern Milky Way lies a stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula. View More (2012-02-08)
Galaxy NGC 4214: A star formation laboratory
Size isn't everything... in astronomy, at least. Dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 may be small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in content. View More (2011-05-12)
First Stars in Universe Were Not Alone
The first stars in the universe were not as solitary as previously thought. In fact, they could have formed alongside numerous companions when the gas disks that surrounded them broke up during formation, giving birth to sibling stars in the fragments. View More (2011-02-07)
Turbulence May Promote the Birth of Massive Stars
On long, dark winter nights, the constellation of Orion the Hunter dominates the sky. Within the Hunter's sword, the Orion Nebula swaddles a cluster of newborn stars called the Trapezium. These stars are young but powerful, each one shining with the brilliance of 100,000 Suns. They are also massive, containing 15 to 30 times as much material as the Sun. View More (2009-02-24)
Hubble's 17th anniversary -- extreme star birth in the Carina Nebula
Hubble's new view of the Carina Nebula shows the process of star birth at a new level of detail. View More (2007-04-25)
Watching how planets form
With the VISIR instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have mapped the disc around a star more massive than the Sun. The very extended and flared disc most likely contains enough gas and dust to spawn planets. View More (2006-09-29)
Super-rare, super-luminous supernovae are likely explosion of universe's earliest stars
The most-distant, super-luminous supernovae found to date have been observed by an international team, including Raymond Carlberg of the University of Toronto's Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics. View More (2012-11-02)
It may not be long before we see other worlds
WE MAY actually see a planet around a nearby star within the next six months. A team of British astronomers hope to achieve this feat by focusing their search on white dwarfs-dimly glowing stars at the end of their lives. Although more than 80 planets outside our Solar System have been discovered, all were detected indirectly, by observing the... View More (2002-03-06)
Brightness Variations of Sun-like Stars: The Mystery Deepens
An extensive study made with ESO's Very Large Telescope deepens a long-standing mystery in the study of stars similar to the Sun. View More (2009-12-08)
First super-Earths discovered around Sun-like stars
Two nearby stars have been found to harbor "super-Earths"― rocky planets larger than the Earth but smaller than ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune. Unlike previously discovered stars with super-Earths, both of the stars are similar to the Sun, suggesting to scientists that low-mass planets may be common around nearby stars.

Missing planets attest to destructive power of stars' tides
During the last two decades, astronomers have found hundreds of planets orbiting stars outside our solar system. New research indicates they might have found even more except for one thing - some planets have fallen into their stars and simply no longer exist. View More (2009-04-28)
NTT Observations Indicate that Brown Dwarfs Form Like Stars
Dusty Disks Detected around Very Young Substellar Objects in the Orion Nebula An international team of astronomers is announcing today the discovery of dusty disks surrounding numerous very faint objects that are believed to be recently formed Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Nebula. This finding is based on detailed observations with SOFI, a specialised infrared-sensitive instrument at the ESO 3.5-m... View More (2001-06-07)
Much faster than a speeding bullet, planets and stars escape the Milky Way
Idan Ginsburg, a graduate student in Dartmouth's Department of Physics and Astronomy, studies some of the fastest moving objects in the cosmos. View More (2012-03-30)
