It's long been assumed that most or all such grooves are evidence of still-forming protoplanets, but only a few like WISPIT ...

Low-temperature CO2 hydrogenation might have sounded almost paradoxical until a recent study made it possible. Researchers have designed new catalysts that can transform the greenhouse gas into ...

“We observed much lower metallicity than our models predicted for the planet’s bulk composition,” study co-author and ...

The chemical composition of meteorites and asteroids acts as a kind of fingerprint, providing information about the origin of ...

A new analysis of meteorite isotopes challenges long-held ideas about Earth’s origins, suggesting our planet may have formed ...

Researchers have uncovered new insights into the early development of baby stars. As published in The Astrophysical Journal ...

(CN) — A newborn star deep inside a cloud of gas and dust appears to be “sneezing,” sending out bursts of energy that may ...

For years, planetary scientists have argued that some of the material that built Earth must have drifted in from beyond ...

Observing the Taurus Molecular Cloud, a research team led by Kyushu University has found that during the early growth period ...

A blazing supermassive black hole can influence far more than its own galaxy. Scientists found that quasars emit radiation strong enough to shut down star formation in nearby galaxies millions of ...

Earth likely formed from inner Solar System material alone, raising fresh questions about the origin of water on our planet.

Over the last decade, the team has been using ALMA to study the protostars in the stellar nursery in the Taurus Molecular ...
