Astronomers have found a new way of accurately mapping the outer gas disk of the Milky Way using the positions of young stars ...

The cloud, named Eos after the goddess of Greek mythology who signified the dawn, contains approximately 3,400 solar masses worth of gas. It's also depleted in carbon monoxide, which is why it had ...

Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

The surprise discovery of a huge cloud of molecular gas — the stuff that forms stars — just 300 light-years away is opening up new ways to study the conditions that enable star birth.

Molecular clouds are composed of gas and dust and serve a vital purpose in star formation. Eos, a crescent-shaped gas cloud, is located about 300 light years away from Earth and is the size of 40 ...

The spectrographic analysis of the pristine gas clouds places them in time at about 2 billion years after the Big Bang, or nearly 12 billion years ago. At that time, theoretical models predict that ...

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

Vast clouds of gas within it slowly collapse to form new stars. In turn, these light up the gas clouds in a riot of colors, visible in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The cloud, named Eos after the goddess of Greek mythology who signified the dawn, contains approximately 3,400 solar masses worth of gas. It's also depleted in carbon monoxide, which is why it had ...
