Stars are born in “stellar nurseries,” otherwise known as molecular clouds. Much research has been done to understand the process of star formation. Stars are formed when there is gravitational ...

Scientists have reconstructed what they call “the messy death of a multiple star system” using some of the first images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, plus existing data from the European ...

Over 50 percent of high-mass stars reside in multiple star systems. But due to their complex orbital interactions, physicists have a difficult time understanding just how stable and long-lived these ...

This week an international team of astronomers reports the first multiple-star system to be observed during the earliest stage of formation. This finding supports model predictions about how two- and ...
