Researchers at Kyushu University have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from “fluffy” molecular clouds.

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...

Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...

A dead galaxy shouldn't produce bursts of radio light. Yet this 11 billion-year-old one did — throwing scientists for a loop.
