Understanding the early universe is a foundational goal in space science. We're driven to understand nature and how it ...

The superclouds probably produce star-forming clouds of gas, since most nearby stellar nurseries are located within the giants.

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust.
