The most detailed simulations to date of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) hint that we may need to rethink our understanding of how stars form in these vast cosmic objects. GMCs, sometimes referred to as ...

Caltech researchers have developed a new simulation of the hydrological cycle on Jupiter, modeling how water vapor condenses ...

Mars is a planet of extremes—towering volcanoes, vast canyons, and colossal dust storms that can wrap the planet in a reddish haze for weeks. But high above its rusty terrain, something far more ...

A team of researchers from Northwestern University have created a high-resolution 3D simulation of the moment a star is formed. The gorgeous animation is the most realistic of its kind to date, ...

Astronomers have developed the most detailed simulation to date of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) – cosmic objects in which stars are born. The simulation reconstructs a highly realistic model of star ...
