Star Dust

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a significant discovery with its latest image of the Serpens Nebula, taken on June 20, 2024. This image showcases aligned protostellar outflows—jets of gas expelled by newborn stars—all pointing in the same direction. Serpens Nebula, a reflection nebula, reflects light from nearby stars rather than e...

In its recent post, the American space agency gave astronomers and space enthusiasts their first view ever of jets of gas hurtling outwards from newborn stars and smashing into cosmic gas and dust at high speeds.

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Kamran Akmal backed India to emerge victorious in the clash between two teams at the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Kyushu University researchers have shed new light into a critical question on how baby stars develop.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has recently spotted a new photo of the spiral galaxy called IC 4633. This galaxy has billions of stars and hosts an active galactic nucleus at its centre.

Two large stars residing inside a spectacular cloud of gas and dust nicknamed the "Dragon's Egg" nebula have presented a puzzle to astronomers. One of them has a magnetic field, as does our sun. Its companion does not.

Solar Eclipse 2024: The Sun gives energy to life on Earth, and without this star, we wouldn't be here. But even stars have limited lifetimes, and someday our Sun will die and our planet will be swallowed by it before it becomes a white dwarf.

The image, described by NASA as a "Hubble Classic view," depicts a mesmerising scene where bright-white, bluish, and orange stars twinkle amidst dark dust patches, hinting at regions of dense gas and potential star formation.

Virat Kohli has been in sensational form of late. He was the top-scorer in the World Cup last year as India reached the final, only to go down against Australia.

Our sun and other stars form when a dense clump of interstellar gas and dust collapses under its own gravitational pull.

Cricket World Cup: After rain stopped play for a bit, there was a dust storm and heavy winds led to several iron angles with branding material from the roof falling on people sitting at the lower levels

The Milky Way Galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars, glimmering star-forming regions, and towering dark clouds of dust and gas.

NASA states that as stars form, they collect gas and dust from the surrounding molecular cloud, "which appears as ribbons in Webb imagery."

It was one of the first famous images revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope earlier this year: a stunning shroud of gas and dust illuminated by a dying star at its heart.
