An X-ray flash coming from an unusual binary star system was recently spotted with help from the unique "Lobster eyes" on the Einstein Probe.

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...

"Even today, our understanding of star formation is still developing; comprehending how stars formed in the earlier universe is even more challenging." ...

Researchers have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from 'fluffy' molecular clouds. Using the ALMA telescope to observe the Small Magellanic Cloud -- whose environment is similar ...

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

A red supergiant star appears to have changed in just a few years – an astronomical blink of an eye – which suggests it may ...

On May 27, the Wide-field X-ray Telescope detected X-rays from a new source, labeled EP J0052. Follow-up observations were conducted using the probe's Follow-up X-ray Telescope, as well as NASA's ...
