Globular clusters are dense groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that orbit galaxies such as the Milky Way.

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...

New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may ...

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter. Using ultra-detailed simulations, researchers recreated their origins and ...

Researchers at Istanbul University and Akdeniz University have made an important discovery about the CN Lyn star system. Unlike most multi-star systems, CN Lyn's three stars formed at different times, ...

For generations, astronomers have pondered the origins of globular clusters, which are among the universe’s oldest and ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has achieved a groundbreaking feat by definitively detecting crystalline ice water in the young star system HD 181327, located 155 light-years away. This marks the ...

A large team of astronomers and astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in China has discovered a binary star system, where one of the stars is a millisecond pulsar and the other is made ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very brief and crucial stage." Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden ...

Astronomers have for the first time spotted a solar system beyond our own in its very earliest stages of formation. The research community has long sought such a system to help us understand the ...
