Neutron stars warp space-time, U-M astronomers observe
Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time occurs around neutron stars, University of Michigan astronomers and others have observed. View More (2007-08-29)
How do massive stars form?
Massive stars play a key role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. The way massive stars form is still much debated among the astronomers' community: it is currently one of the hottest astrophysical topics. View More (2005-11-09)
Setting stars reveal planetary secrets
Watching the stars set from the surface of the Earth may be a romantic pastime but when a spacecraft does it from orbit, it can reveal hidden details about a planet's atmosphere. View More (2007-11-06)
Simulations Illuminate Universe's First Twin Stars
The earliest stars in the universe formed not only as individuals, but sometimes also as twins, according to a paper published today in Science Express. View More (2009-07-10)
XMM-Newton reveals X-rays from gas streams around young stars
XMM-Newton has surveyed nearly two hundred stars under formation to reveal, contrary to expectations, how streams of matter fall onto the young stars' magnetic atmospheres and radiate X-rays. View More (2007-06-01)
Planets Can Form in the Galactic Center
At first glance, the center of the Milky Way seems like a very inhospitable place to try to form a planet. View More (2012-09-12)
100 Photographs in the Blink of an Eye
Scientists from the Universities of Sheffield and Southampton in collaboration with the UK Astronomy Technology Centre at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh have just opened a new window on the Universe by commissioning ULTRACAM - an ultra-fast camera which can take up to 1000 pictures a second in three different colours simultaneously. The camera, which is mounted on the largest optical telescope... View More (2002-07-24)
The Stars behind the Curtain
ESO is releasing a magnificent VLT image of the giant stellar nursery surrounding NGC 3603, in which stars are continuously being born. View More (2010-02-04)
5-limbed brittle stars move bilaterally, like people
It appears that the brittle star, the humble, five-limbed dragnet of the seabed, moves very similarly to us. View More (2012-05-10)
Stellar birth control in the early universe
An international team of astronomers based at Yale and Leiden University in The Netherlands found that "old stars" dominated many large galaxies in the early universe, raising the new question of why these galaxies progressed into "adulthood" so early in the life of the universe.

'Galactic archaeologists' find origin of Milky Way's ancient stars
Many of the Milky Way's ancient stars are remnants of other smaller galaxies torn apart by violent galactic collisions around five billion years ago, according to researchers at Durham University. View More (2010-06-30)
Spotlight on a stellar nursery
Deep in the heart of the southern Milky Way lies a stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula. It is about 7500 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Carina (The Keel). View More (2012-02-09)
Hubble's panoramic view of a turbulent star-making region
30 Doradus is the brightest star-forming region in our galactic neighbourhood and home to the most massive stars ever seen. The nebula resides 170 000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small, satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. No known star-forming region in our galaxy is as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus. View More (2012-04-17)
Astronomers look to neighboring galaxy for star formation insight
An international team of astronomers has mapped in detail the star-birthing regions of the nearest star-forming galaxy to our own, a step toward understanding the conditions surrounding star creation. View More (2011-12-01)
Recipe for water: just add starlight
ESA's Herschel infrared space observatory has discovered that ultraviolet starlight is the key ingredient for making water in space. It is the only explanation for why a dying star is surrounded by a gigantic cloud of hot water vapour. View More (2010-09-03)
Hubble finds that "blue blobs" in space are orphaned clusters of stars
Hubble has revealed that mysterious "blue blobs" in a structure called Arp's Loop between M81 and M82 are blue clusters of stars less than 200 million years old with many stars as young as, and even younger than, 10 million years. View More (2008-01-09)
First black holes kept to a strict diet, study shows
A new supercomputer simulation designed to track the fate of the universe's first black holes finds that, counter to expectations, they couldn't efficiently gorge themselves on nearby gas. View More (2009-08-11)
Many famous comets originally formed in other solar systems
Many of the most well known comets, including Halley, Hale-Bopp and, most recently, McNaught, may have been born in orbit around other stars, according to a new theory by an international team of astronomers led by a scientist from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colo.

NASA's Hubble Finds Rare 'Blue Straggler' Stars in Milky Way's Hub
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found a rare class of oddball stars called blue stragglers in the hub of our Milky Way, the first detected within our galaxy's bulge. View More (2011-05-26)
Bursting 'bubbles' the origin of galactic gas clouds
Like bubbles bursting on the surface of a glass of champagne, 'bubbles' in our Galaxy burst and leave flecks of material in the form of clouds of hydrogen gas, researchers using CSIRO's Parkes telescope. View More (2010-05-28)
