The puzzling appearance of an ice cloud seemingly out of thin air has prompted NASA scientists to suggest that a different process than previously thought — possibly similar to one seen over Earth’s ...

Blakesley Burkhart, a Rutgers University astrophysicist and professor, has discovered a potentially star-forming cloud that is among the closest to Earth ever detected. The cloud is 300 light years ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive molecular cloud that is also a huge possible star producer - of the celestial sort. The cloud has been hiding in plain sight. Astronomers just needed the right ...

A Rutgers University research team in New Jersey spotted the newly found cloud, which was named Eos—after the Greek deity of dawn. Being only 300 light-years away, it is the closest known big ...

Astronomers are celebrating NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope’s 33rd launch anniversary with an ethereal photo of a nearby star-forming region, NGC 1333. The nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, and ...

Hubble’s latest image peers inside N159, a vast stellar nursery nearby, revealing how cold hydrogen clouds, newborn stars, and powerful stellar forces quietly shape one of our closest galaxies.

A research group has clarified the importance of analyzing the formation of clouds from human and natural particles by developing a sophisticated model. Since many climate models simplify the ...
