The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has unveiled its first close-up image of the cosmos, offering an extraordinary new perspective ...

Nebulae are mostly found within galaxies—specifically, in interstellar space. There's often at least one star at the core of a nebula, whether new or recently deceased, but sometimes a giant ...

This spectacular star-forming region is one of the first images from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile.

Hubble captures three infant stars lighting up a blue nebula, with a secret protostar forming in a shadowed disc below.

Many nebulae have high-energy stars inside, or a massive explosion in their past—but some are downright chill. Frosty, even.

Every star you see in the night sky forms from a nebula, which is a large region of dust and gas in space. One such nebula, the Lagoon Nebula, is visible with binoculars or small telescopes and is ...

The nebula, located around 1,200 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Carina (the Keel), may also contain the remains of a companion star to the red giant, which was shredded ...

SO much of the universe is beyond the naked eye. Reflection nebulae could have been yet another cosmic mystery, if it wasn’t for the neighbouring young stars that sets them apart. What is a r… ...

The massive stars within the nebula create these winds, which should create chaos in the center of this region of space as they swirl around tons of gas. However, that isn’t the case.

The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros is captured in all its glory, revealing the sites of star formation and the feedback effects of stars that have already coalesced out of the nebula's molecular gases.

At the center of the nebula is the culprit of this mystery: the small, dim remaining core of a star called a white dwarf. It is this white dwarf, named WD 2226-210 and located just 650 light-years ...

These are the first public images collected by the Chile-based observatory, which will begin a decade-long survey of the southern sky later this year.
