This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

A new set of supercomputer simulations published June 5, 2026 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has provided the most quantitatively precise confirmation yet of why binary star ...

Star formation often occurs in groups rather than in isolation. In some cases, two newborn stars become gravitationally bound, creating what astronomers call a binary star system. Observations ...

Some galaxies spend billions of years churning out stars at a relentless pace — then, almost abruptly, go quiet. Astronomers have watched this transition play out across the universe for decades, but ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

For this NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month, we return to the constellation Orion (the Hunter), a location familiar to Webb. This area of the sky is replete with star-forming ...

Astronomers have employed the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform deep spectroscopic observations of a peculiar spiral galaxy known as W2246f. Results ...

Since the days of the Mayans, the constellation Orion, which shines with brightly colored star-forming clouds, has mesmerized us. So much so that we have turned the James Webb Space Telescope, the ...

If you're on the software developer side of the internet, you've probably heard the term "vibe coding" recently. Andrej Karpathy coined this phrase to reference a style of coding where artificial ...
