Dominant cosmological theories posit that stars are formed in molecular clouds that are sufficiently large and dense that it ...

Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar ...

An X-ray flash coming from an unusual binary star system was recently spotted with help from the unique "Lobster eyes" on the Einstein Probe.

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...

Researchers have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from 'fluffy' molecular clouds. Using the ALMA telescope to observe the Small Magellanic Cloud -- whose environment is similar ...

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

The Einstein Probe was launched in January 2024 to study the high-energy universe, and among its instruments is its ...

On May 27, the Wide-field X-ray Telescope detected X-rays from a new source, labeled EP J0052. Follow-up observations were conducted using the probe's Follow-up X-ray Telescope, as well as NASA's ...

Lobster-eye satellite Einstein Probe captured the X-ray flash from a very elusive celestial pair. The discovery opens a new way to explore how massive stars interact and evolve, confirming the unique ...
