Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) found a young star surrounded by an astonishing mass of gas. The star, called 49 Ceti, is 40 million years old and ...

New ALMA observations reveal a complex network of gas filaments in the Milky Way’s central 650 light-years, enabling detailed studies of star formation in extreme galactic conditions.

While conventional natural gas streams from the earth relatively easily, unconventional gas finds are more difficult to develop and more costly to produce. As technologies and skills improve, ...

Gas-giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn form soon after their stars do, according to new research. Observations from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope show that gas giants either form within the first ...

In the intriguing realm of star-forming galaxies, the key factor isn't the total amount of gas but rather its strategic distribution within the galaxy. Researchers at the International Centre for ...

Understanding the gas from which stars form is a fundamental goal in astrophysics. This is a pressing issue for pristine galaxies — those low in heavy elements, known as metals — whose growth remains ...

US natural gas production from shale and tight formations, which makes up 79% of dry natural gas production in the US, saw a slight decline in the first 9 months of 2024 compared with the same period ...

U.S. natural gas production from shale and tight formations, which accounts for 79% of dry natural gas production, decreased slightly in the first nine months of 2024 compared with the same period in ...
