The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Inside the Stellar Furnace: Webb’s infrared vision exposes the beauty and complexity of Sagittarius B2.

Scientists have produced the most detailed three-dimensional map yet of stellar nurseries within our galaxy, using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. The new model reveals how massive young stars interact with interstellar…

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) latest images reveal a colorful array of stars in the relatively nearby Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud, the most active and massive star-forming region in the Milky Way galaxy.

The Cullinan Cosmos' headliner has an "ethereal interpretation" of the Milky Way, freehand painted by a single artist over the course of more than 160 hours.

Astronomers have unveiled the most detailed 3D map ever made of stellar nurseries in our Milky Way galaxy.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged an extremely large and symmetric protostellar jet at the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. From tip to tip, this protostellar jet is 8 light-years across, about double the distance from…

The moon is near new phase this week, and clearer skies and cooler overnight temperatures means that this is also an optimum week to check out the beautiful summer Milky Way.

The findings suggest Earth’s geological story was partly written in the stars – specifically, in the spiral arms of our home galaxy.

Gaia Proves Our Skies Are Filled with Chains of Starry Gatherings

For the latest NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week, we are treated to details of the very active star-cluster-filled center of the Messier 82 galaxy. Researchers could use this image to understand how massive star clusters…

Astronomers say that mysterious interstellar visitors like 'Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS are the most common large bodies in the Milky Way — and our best chance to study other planetary systems.

There are plenty of theories about what dark matter is and how it might be gravitationally affecting the universe. However, proving those theories out is hard since it hardly ever interacts with anything, especially on “small” scales like…

Messier 82 blazes with star-forming power, producing superclusters that outshine ordinary ones. Thanks to Hubble and Webb, we can now see its turbulent beauty in extraordinary detail, including rare views from Hubble’s High Resolution…

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a protostar with giant smooth jets, suggesting big stars can grow in orderly ways, too.
