Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

Jets are colossal structures that erupt from the poles of an actively feeding black hole. The black hole devours clouds of ...

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

What makes red geysers stand out is that they show faint, galaxy-scale outflows of ionized gas, stretching tens of thousands ...

The birth of a new solar system may have been caught on camera. About 1,400 light-years from Earth sits a young sunlike star surrounded by cooling gas and teensy silicate minerals. These mineral ...
