Uncovering the Evolution of Stars

A group of astrophysicists from the University of Vienna led by Núria Miret-Roig discovered that two approaches to estimating a star’s age measure distinct things: Thus, isochronous measurement establishes the star’s birthdate, whereas dynamical monitoring informs when stars in the examined star clusters “leave their nest,” or roughly 5.5 million years later.

Unraveling the Secrets of the Universe's Most Energetic Cosmic Ray

A high-energy particle descends from space to Earth's surface, its origin and nature shrouded in mystery. While it might resemble a scene from science fiction, this scenario is an actual scientific occurrence supported by the investigations led by Associate Professor Toshihiro Fujii at the Graduate School of Science and Nambu Yoichiro Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics at Osaka Metropolitan University.

Massive Stars in Dwarf Galaxies Delay Superwinds, Boost Star Formation

The enormous galaxies crowded with stars can be assumed as star factories, whirling out brilliant balls of gas. In reality, fewer developed dwarf galaxies have larger regions of star factories, with higher rates of star formation.

The Old Cosmic Conundrum Resolved

The Milky Way galaxy is part of a significantly larger structure, the local Supercluster structure, which encompasses many enormous galaxy clusters and hundreds of individual galaxies. It is also known as the Supergalactic Plane due to its pancake-like form and size of about a billion light years.

Webb Camera Captures New Features in the Milky Way

The most recent image obtained by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope provides remarkable clarity of a region of the galaxy’s dense center, including previously unseen characteristics that astronomers have not yet been able to explain. Sagittarius C (Sgr C), the star-forming area, is located around 300 light-years away from Sagittarius A*, the central supermassive black hole of the Milky Way.
