Astronomers have discovered a new giant molecular cloud (GMC) in the Milky Way, a finding that has expanded our understanding of the galaxy’s structure and star formation processes. This new cloud, ...

Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers have detected a new giant molecular cloud in the Milky Way galaxy. The ...

New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar ...

The smallest disk identified, meanwhile, stretched to just 0.6 AU – closer to the star than the Earth is to the Sun.

In new images, scientists have gotten the close look yet at Sagittarius C—a "stellar nursery" where clouds of gas and dust have collapsed to form thousands of new stars.

Stars and planets are thought to be born in protoplanetary disks that take shape in the superdense gas of molecular cloud cores, which means it is possible that the water present in those clouds ...

A team of astronomers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) discovered the cloud at the midpoint of a dust lane within the Milky Way’s central bar, approximately 23,000 light-years away.
