Astronomers have developed a groundbreaking computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) -- the vast ocean of gas and charged ...

Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves our ...

How can the universe’s turbulence influence the Earth? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to ...

Stars don’t just form planets—they may also re-supply their disks with gas, reshaping how and where planets emerge.
