A team of researchers has proposed a compelling theory about the enigmatic Jupiter-mass binary objects (Jumbos), shedding light on their mysterious origins. The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal in November, delves into the process of “photo erosion” to explain the formation of these strange celestial bodies. According to statements made to Space.com by Richard … Read more
Two young stars have been captured in a new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescopelocated in the Orion Nebula, a well-known region for star formation. The stars, named HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, are situated approximately 1,300 light-years from Earth. The Orion Nebula is considered the closest massive star-forming region to Earth and contains … Read more
A team of researchers has observed an ultra-diffuse galaxy, FCC 224, uncovering an unusual system of globular clusters. The galaxy, located in the Fornax cluster approximately 65 million light-years away, has been found to host luminous and overmassive globular clusters. The study, conducted using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and supported by spectroscopic data from … Read more
A striking image of a young star surrounded by a dense disk of dust and gas has been captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The image showcases Herbig Haro 30 (HH 30), a celestial formation located in the Taurus constellation. Bright jets of material are seen extending from the disk as light interacts … Read more
A vast expanse of gas and dust in the Tarantula Nebula has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, offering a striking look at one of the most active star-forming regions in the nearby universe. The image showcases layers of cosmic material, with dark, dense clouds of dust contrasting against luminous, swirling gases. Situated … Read more
Supermassive black holes might be influencing galactic star formation and triggering the death of galaxies, claims a new study. Recent research has shed light on how the birth and death of a galaxy, also known as the galactic cycle occurs. This study reveals that the mass of a supermassive black hole can significantly impact the … Read more
Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed missing cooling gas in the Phoenix Clustera galaxy cluster located 5.8 billion light-years away. The discovery provides insights into how stars form despite the presence of a supermassive black hole at its core. Researchers have confirmed that the cluster contains the largest known reservoir of … Read more
