Young star systems are a place of violent collisions between rocks, comets, asteroids and larger objects as the dust and ice of a stellar nebula coalesce into planets and moons. But the largest ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

This Christmas, astronomers are highlighting a spectacular region of space that looks remarkably like a glowing holiday tree. Known as NGC 2264, this distant star-forming region sits about 2,700 light ...

The Hubble Space Telescope observed the debris belt and dust clouds around the star Fomalhaut, which was blotted out to allow the fainter features around it to be seen. Credit: NASA / ESA / Paul Kalas ...

Astronomers have repeatedly observed events near a distant star that mirror processes from the early solar system’s planet-forming era Astronomers, including MPIA’s Bin Ren, have used the Hubble Space ...

A deadly collapse of a construction tower at Avada Company's solar energy facility in Nagpur's Butibori industrial area claimed six workers' lives and left several others seriously injured on Friday ...

In an unprecedented celestial event, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) captured the dramatic aftermath of colliding space rocks within a nearby planetary system. When astronomers initially spotted a ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has recorded repeated collisions between asteroids in the planetary system surrounding the star Fomalhaut, located approximately 25 light-years from Earth in the ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

In a spectacular glimpse into the violent early days of planetary systems, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of catastrophic collisions in a star system beyond our own. According to ...
