Fedriani and his colleagues suspect these newly detected filaments are sculpted by nearby magnetic fields, which themselves ...

Astronomers know of even larger magnetic fields, some of which fill entire galaxy clusters that can reach a few million light-years across. So where do these gigantic magnetic fields come from?

Research based on a 2023 image of the Sagittarius C stellar nursery, taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, has ...

The James Webb Space Telescope reveals turbulent environments found in Sagittarius C, a core part of our Milky Way galaxy.

An international research team led by Dr. Zhang Suinan from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of ...

The new results allow us to obtain information about the structure of the magnetic field of our Galaxy, as well as helping to understand the energetic processes which took place close to the birth of ...

There, molecular clouds have collapsed over millions of years, forming a cluster of new ... sits at the center of the galaxy.

Using NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have taken the closest and clearest look yet at one of the most extreme places in our galaxy—a star-forming region called Sagittarius C.

Webb first observed the region called Sagittarius C in 2023. Now researchers are now using those observations to study star formation in the wider area around the center of the Milky Way, known as the ...

"This is an exciting area for future research, as the influence of strong magnetic fields, in the center of our galaxy or other galaxies, on stellar ecology has not been fully considered," Samuel ...
