Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology researchers measure cosmic rays in far-off ...

Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, our solar system formed from a cloud of gas and dust called a solar nebula that swirled around, eventually collapsing under its own gravity into a rapidly rotating ...

In 1993, when the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed the Orion nebula for the first time, its images provided a substantial boost for the argument that stars with planetary systems are commonplace in the ...

An international research team led by scientists from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has achieved the first direct measurement of cosmic rays deep inside a star-forming nebula. Using ...

Previous Spitzer studies have indicated the formation of complex molecules in the Helix Nebula.

You can predict the Sun’s distant future by looking far beyond the Solar System. Across the Milky Way, astronomers study ...

James Webb Space Telescope reveals how Helix Nebula's stars end their life, showing colourful nebulae formed by dying stars ...

A closer look at the Helix Nebula reveals how dying stars shed material, shape space, and hint at the distant future of our ...

The Necklace Nebula (IPHASX J194359.5+170901 or PN G054.2–03.4), located approximately 1° east-southeast of Beta Sagittae, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Sagitta. Discovered in 2005 using ...

Astronomers have seen the first direct evidence of the birth of a planet in the form of snowballing dust grains, helping to confirm the theoretical scenario for how Earth and the other planets formed ...

Scientists from MIT and their colleagues have estimated the lifetime of the solar nebula — a key stage during which much of the solar system evolution took shape. This new estimate suggests that the ...
