Noctilucent clouds were once thought to be a fairly modern phenomenon. A team of researchers recently calculated that Earth and the entire solar system may well have passed through two dense ...

A disruption of the solar system's heliosphere by an interstellar cloud could have severely impacted life on our planet, according to scientists. Reading time 3 minutes The Pleistocene Epoch—with its ...

Astrophysicists calculate the likelihood that Earth was exposed to cold, harsh interstellar clouds, a phenomenon not previously considered in geologic climate models. Around two million years ago, ...

Around two million years ago, Earth was a very different place, with our early human ancestors living alongside saber-toothed tigers, mastodons, and enormous rodents. And, depending on where they were ...

In interstellar dust clouds, turbulence must first dissipate before a star can form through gravity. A German-French research team has now discovered that the kinetic energy of the turbulence comes to ...

Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

The discovery that three star-forming clouds in our cosmic neighbourhood form a single C-shaped structure offers insights into how such clouds develop 1. Molecular clouds are dense regions of gas and ...

Astronomers have discovered that the sun had a close encounter with two blazingly hot massive stars around 4.4 million years ago. The discovery was made thanks to a "scar" left by the event in ...
