An international team of astronomers reported evidence for the formation of mysterious “super star clusters” Jan. 9 at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C. These ...

A trio of massive, young star clusters found embedded in a star cloud may shed light on the formation of super-star clusters and globular clusters. The discovery, made with images taken with the ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Star clusters, whether young open assemblies or ancient globular systems, provide unique environments in which gravitational encounters, stellar evolution and chemical enrichment intertwine to shape ...

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Vienna has deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team, led by ...

The history of how stars and galaxies came to be and evolved into the present day remains among the most challenging astrophysical questions to solve yet, but new research brings us closer to ...

An international team of astronomers has used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to discover gravitationally bound star clusters when the universe was 460 million years old. This is the first ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its predecessor Hubble, astronomers took a close look at thousands of young star clusters in four galaxies and studied these clusters at different ...
