A team of scientists has developed a new model to study ‘very massive stars’ and their impact on the formation of black holes ...

Very massive stars, over 100 times the mass of the sun, eject significant amounts of matter through powerful stellar winds before collapsing into black holes.

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than ...

The image reveals swirling gas and dust near the Tarantula Nebula-our nearby universe’s most prolific star factory, 160,000 ...

Since July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized our cosmic understanding, delivering breathtaking images.

The Tarantula resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our own located 160,000 light-years away. This nebula spans roughly 1,000 light-years and contains nearly a million stars ...

The Tarantula Nebula sounds like it would be a better fit for Halloween than Valentine's Day. But just look at it. You can see why NASA thinks it's an appropriate astronomical gift for a day of ...

In places like the Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus), hydrogen condenses and fuels the birth of new stars. This makes the nebula an ideal place to study stellar evolution and formation.

A stunning new view of the Tarantula Nebula captures turbulent clouds of gas and dust swirling between young stars. Located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Tarantula ...

The Tarantula Nebula is a large star-forming region of ionized hydrogen gas that lies 161,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and its turbulent clouds of gas and dust appear ...
