This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month presents HH 30 in unprecedented detail. This target is an edge-on protoplanetary disk that is surrounded by jets and a disk wind, ...

A protoplanetary disk is a disk of dense gas and dust, orbiting a newly formed star. It is assumed that planets are born by the gradual accumulation of material in such a structure, therefore ...

Using new observations with the ALMA telescope array in Chile, researchers have compiled the most precise map of three regions in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone to date, providing valuable ...

Astronomers have been searching the skies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimter Array (ALMA) to study orbital geometries and protoplanetary disks that surround binary stars. The team found ...

Researchers studying a distant star forming within a dusty cloud have found an abundance of water in its immediate vicinity, which could have implications for the origins of the water in our own solar ...

Are we alone in the Universe? And where did our planetary home come from? For decades, astronomers have attempted to answer these question by studying planetary formation. In the process, they have ...

ALMA-images of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone. The research team suspects that protoplanetary discs are forming in its clouds. For decades, astronomers have discovered hundreds of ...
