PD Dr Philipp Girichidis at Heidelberg University’s Centre for Astronomy provide insights into our place in the Milky Way and ...

The Milky Way's interstellar medium—that is, the dust and gas that threads between our galaxy's billions of stars—is an abundant yet elusive material. That means the latest image from NASA's James ...

Astrophysicists are mapping a vast, hidden structure in the gas around the Sun that behaves like a tunnel carved through ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected metallic iron dust, silicon carbide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the nearby dwarf galaxy Sextans A, revealing early dust formation processes.

Scientists have detected a narrow structure of hot plasma extending from the Local Hot Bubble surrounding the Sun toward ...

Research on heliospheric physics and interstellar medium dynamics has advanced our understanding of the complex interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar environment. The heliosphere – a ...

Astronomers have developed a groundbreaking computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) -- the vast ocean of gas and charged ...

Astronomers have uncovered a surprising new structure in our region of the galaxy, an interstellar tunnel that appears to connect the bubble of hot gas surrounding our solar system to regions around ...

The telescope captured the infrared glow of the cosmic material, revealing delicate patterns. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful telescope developed by mankind, is ...
