Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and if you look more broadly, groups of stars make up huge structures such as ...

"I think of JuMBOs as a cross between stars and brown dwarfs - they would have been like stars had it not been for the radiation from the more massive stars, which has sculpted them to be more like ...

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming discs around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have ...
