Learn how galactic archaeology uses chemical clues to uncover how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years.

A recent scientific study has suggested that the first stars in the universe formed in conditions very different from what researchers had long believed. Instead of forming in a cold and quiet ...

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over ...

Still in its original galaxy, a rare holdout from the second generation of stars sheds new light on the origins of the ...

The birth of massive stars involves gravity, turbulence, and stellar feedback, all of which influence the flow of matter.

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...
