The findings could help solve the mystery of how the first stars formed. The roughly four-billion-year-old system consists of a black hole and two orbiting stars—a configuration that's never been seen ...

The universe is full of fascinating structures, and some of the most striking take shape inside the giant clouds where stars ...

Astronomical observations show that the most massive galaxies in the early universe formed approximately three to four billion years after the Big Bang and stopped producing stars very early in cosmic ...

One of the farthest known quasars seems to have shut down the creation of new stars in all the galaxies within its vicinity. A quasar is a powerful source of light, created by torrid gas orbiting a ...

Quasars stripped early galaxies of their gas, the basic raw material for making stars.

A galaxy roughly 9 billion light-years from Earth is hemorrhaging its own future. Nearly half the molecular gas inside the ...

During the early universe, galaxy and star formation was at an all-time high. A mere few hundred million years after the Big Bang, nearly half of the stars that have ever existed had already formed.
