Astronomers frequently observe carbon monoxide in planetary nurseries. The compound is ultra-bright and extremely common in protoplanetary disks—regions of dust and gas where planets form around young ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers obtained high-contrast coronagraphic images of the protoplanetary disk around the young, nearby star TW Hydrae. Results of the observational ...

This is the observer.Up until the last installment, we looked at vortices that form on the surface of the Sun and in the ...

Many newly formed stars are surrounded by what are called protoplanetary disks, swirling masses of warm dust and gas that can constitute the core of a developing solar system. Proof of the existence ...

Discovery suggests raw ingredients for life are common in the dusty discs out of which planets are born.

The Webb Space Telescope is charged with imaging the cosmos at infrared and near-infrared wavelengths, so it should come as no surprise when it captures a familiar object in an entirely new way.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — New observations of the Orion Nebula at infrared wavelengths reveal that small dust grains located in disks around young stars are growing, taking the initial steps toward forming ...
