Single stars are often overlooked in favor of their larger cosmic cousins — but when they join forces, they create truly breathtaking scenes to rival even the most glowing of nebulae or swirling of ...

The distinct spatial distributions of open and globular star clusters in spiral galaxies are a consequence of the interplay between gravity and conserved angular momentum, which facilitates the ...

The “Seven Sisters” of the Pleiades are part of a much larger complex that can help reveal our galaxy’s deep history ...

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

Recent astronomical observations have unveiled a startling revelation about the Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters. This cluster, once thought to be confined within a relatively ...

Supermassive black holes appear to reside at the center of every galaxy and to have done so since galaxies formed early in the history of the Universe. Currently, however, we can’t entirely explain ...

"Clusters rich in red supergiants are very rare and tend to be very far away, but they play a crucial role in understanding key aspects in the evolution of massive stars." When you purchase through ...
