Observations of a nearby monster supermassive black hole reveal more about the behavior of its powerful jets.
What if the diffuse interstellar medium isn’t smoothly distributed? Astrobites explores how the gas and dust between stars might clump up, and what impact this would have on the formation of large molecular clouds.
Scientists have tackled the challenge of weighing galaxies by harnessing incredibly precise measurements of the motions of Milky-Way satellites.
Simple chemistry may have a big effect on the atmospheres of extremely hot exoplanets.
Two independent collaborations have simultaneously found the very first kinematic evidence for young planets forming in a protoplanetary disk.
Astrobites reports on how studying the Earth as an exoplanet can help us to understand more distant worlds in the future.
What do star-forming clouds outside our own galaxy look like? See for yourself in these images of N55, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
