The Red Spider Nebula: Huge waves are sculpted in this two-lobed nebula some 3000 light-years away in the constellation of ...

From the colourful mosaic of the Lagoon Nebula, to the famous Pillars of Creation, check out these 5 vivid images of Nebulae ...

At the center of the Heart Nebula is a young star born in the open cluster Melotte 15. The powerful light and stellar winds emitted by this star sculpt various forms of dust pillars. This wide ...

TheAtlPhoto is sharing a new image from a space telescope every day until December 25. This photo shows the center of the ...

the precursor nebulae of objects with masses constituting a broad hierarchy evolve simultaneously. The theory yields a comprehensive set of predictions, prima facie consistent with observations, for ...

The explosion stripped off the star's outer layers, and the stellar core—now a neutron star—lies in the center of the nebula.

As the hotter layers of the stellar core are exposed, they produce high-energy radiation. UV and X-rays from the central star irradiate the expanding shells of ejected gas. The atoms and molecules in ...

While Webb’s image of the nebula is the latest, it likely will not be the last, as the stellar nursery is the birthplace of planets, young brown dwarfs and baby stars. “We are particularly ...

It is expected that the Sun will form a planetary nebula at the end of its life cycle. They are relatively short-lived phenomena, lasting perhaps a few tens of millennia, compared to considerably ...

ABSTRACT.Planetary nebulae (PNs) are circumstellar gas ejected during an intense mass-losing phase ... We also discuss indirect tests of this hypothesis and its implications for stellar and galactic ...

Our Sun was formed around 4.6 billion years ago from a giant cloud called a stellar nebula, mainly made up of hydrogen gas and dust. The nebula collapsed under its own gravity and, as it did ...
