The James Webb Space Telescope detects methyl cation (CH3+) in a young star system with a protoplanetary disk that is located ...

The Hubble Space Telescope searches the universe to understand how planets, stars, and galaxies form. Recently, it captured this image of a nebula known as GN 04.32.8 within a larger stellar ...

Hubble captures three infant stars lighting up a blue nebula, with a secret protostar forming in a shadowed disc below.

We study the chemistry in the slow wind during the transition from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star to protoplanetary nebula (PPN) and planetary nebula (PN). We show that there is a very rich ...

Star RIK 113 is busy making a new planet in its protoplanetary disk as seen in this new image from the Very Large Telescope.

Infant planets are ravenous little blighters that quickly devour what remains of the star-circling gas and dust clouds in which they form. The gas in these protoplanetary disks disappears rapidly ...

The Nebula Mars 3 Air’s bucket-like design weighs only 0.4kg more than the MoGo 4, making it simple to take on the go. The included carry handle is appreciated, but the lack of physical positional ...

Webb has directly imaged a young gas giant planet roughly the size of Saturn, our solar system's second-largest planet ...

The process begins when a ring of gas and dust — called a protoplanetary disc — which surrounds a newly formed star builds up into a planetary core. This core attracts more gas that forms an ...
