Very massive stars (VMSs) have had a massive impact on the formation of our universe. However, there aren't very many of them ...

Astronomers led by Simon Portegies Zwart used simulations to reconstruct how three stars were ejected from the star cluster ...

A team of scientists has developed a new model to study ‘very massive stars’ and their impact on the formation of black holes.

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this transformation, they may vomit out more stellar material than we knew.

NASA’s recent Image of the Day was the outer regions of the Tarantula Nebula, which is billed as one of the biggest and busiest star-creating areas in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy.

The Hubble image shows a portion of the Tarantula Nebula, which NASA says is “the largest and most productive star-forming region in the local universe.” ...

The new James Webb Space Telescope might be more capable, but Hubble still has an edge over all the ground-based telescopes on Earth, as evidenced by its latest observations of the Tarantula Nebula.

This week's Hubble image captures the huge, bright cloud of dust and gas known as the Tarantula Nebula.

The Tarantula Nebula is a massive region of ionized hydrogen gas that generates an abundance of stars located 161,000 light-years away from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The region's bright ...

A snapshot of the Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus) is the most recent Picture of the Week from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
