Millions of years ago, our Solar System sailed through the Orion Complex, part of the vast Radcliffe Wave structure. This ...

Are they stars? Are they planets? Or are they neither? Some rogue planetary mass objects that wander the cosmos alone could ...

You know, after decades of pointing optics toward the sky, I consider myself a knowledgeable observer. But while researching ...

Our Solar System is in motion and cruises at about 200 kilometres per second relative to the center of the Milky Way.

"We passed through the Orion region as well-known star clusters like NGC 1977, NGC 1980, and NGC 1981 were forming," Alves notes. "This region is easily visible in the winter sky in the Northern ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope uncovers a 'planet factory' in Orion, revealing young stars and dusty disks rapidly forming ...

How do rogue planetary-mass objects, celestial bodies that fall between planets and stars in size, come into existence? An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University ...

The mass of these objects is less than 13 times that of Jupiter. They are often observed in young star clusters like the Trapezium Cluster in Orion. While their existence is well-documented, their ...

Earth may have cooled during a close encounter with dense star clouds. Interstellar dust from the Orion region might have shaped our ancient climate.

"We passed through the Orion region as well-known star clusters like NGC 1977, NGC 1980, and NGC 1981 were forming," Alves notes. "This region is easily visible in the winter sky in the Northern ...

They are often observed in young star clusters like the Trapezium Cluster in Orion. While their existence is well-documented, their origin has long puzzled scientists. Previous theories proposed ...
