NASA scientists have announced a major breakthrough in exoplanet research thanks to new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The telescope has captured detailed images of massive, ...

Astronomers using ALMA have uncovered how gas and dust in planet-forming disks evolve separately an insight that reshapes our understanding of how different types of planets form. While dust lingers, ...

Astronomers have observed three distant quasars surrounded by enormous blobs of ionised gas termed “superbubbles”. These colossal blobs seem to be caused by winds whipping around the huge black holes ...

The current geochemical view is that hydrocarbons generated from organic matter disseminated in fine-grained sedimentary rocks and coals are controlled primarily by temperature and duration of heating ...

Gas giants are made of a massive solid core surrounded by an even larger mass of helium and hydrogen. But even though these planets are quite common in the Universe, scientists still don’t fully ...

Result of dust-to-planet simulation: Mass distribution of bodies from dust to planets at about 200,000 years CREDIT Hiroshi Kobayashi Gas giants are made of a massive solid core surrounded by an even ...
