A new study suggests that the explosive deaths of the universe's earliest stars created surprising quantities of water that may have sparked extraterrestrial life in the very first galaxies.

A recent study offers a potential solution to one of cosmology's most perplexing mysteries: how supermassive black holes in the early universe grew so massive, so quickly. By introducing a novel ...

Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...

Quantum field theory's vacuum concept challenges classical views, revealing a metastable state that influences cosmic ...

Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...

While radio jets are relatively common in the nearby Universe, they have been elusive in the early Universe. This is partly ...

An international team of astronomers has captured the most detailed image ever of a cosmic filament, a vast structure of gas ...

After hundreds of hours of observations, researchers captured a highly detailed image of a long filament of the "cosmic web" ...

Early data of “little red dots,” or LRDs, from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appeared to suggest the presence of galaxies too massive to exist in our modern cosmological models.

Astronomers have discovered a massive, double-lobed radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years from a quasar that existed when ...

Unexpected epochs of stillness that punctuate the cosmic timeline could offer a natural explanation for dark matter and many ...
