An accidental discovery in an astronomy show offers researchers a new clue about the mysterious Oort Cloud, a large expanse ...

Per NASA, the image was taken from approximately 4,800 miles above Jupiter's cloud tops. And though the whole half-covered-in-darkness thing certainly adds to the creepiness of the face ...

Astrophysicists have gained precious new insights into how distant exoplanets form and what their atmospheres can look like, ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud and called it "Eos." It is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.

Score one for the core accretion theory. A massive, cold clump of material in the heart of the "Dragon cloud" is ready to form a single giant star, and astronomers got a rare glimpse of the event.

From them we receive stars. The process of water precipitating from earthly clouds and the gravitational condensing of molecular hydrogen to form stars in space are very different processes.

Dominant cosmological theories posit that stars are formed in molecular clouds that are sufficiently large and dense that it has the conditions necessary to create new stars. These same experts ...

We’re shooting for the stars here, but maybe we ought to aim a little lower and just hope for the moon or even just a few high clouds. Mr. Trump will certainly accomplish much good. But we must ...
