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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of the Ring Nebula, also known as M57, which is a planetary nebula formed by the glowing remains of a sun-like star. The nebula is located ...

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 ...

Images of two iconic planetary nebulae taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are revealing new information about how they develop their dramatic features. Researchers from Rochester Institute of ...
