The Owl Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula — a type of object that yields glimpses of stellar death in slow motion.

Planetary scientists measure ancient remanent magnetic fields in two Antarctic meteorites to better understand the gaseous nebula from which our solar system formed.

Using the Dark Energy Camera astronomers have found a packed stellar nursery of infant stars in the dark nebula in the 180-light-year-wide Circinus West molecular cloud.

Gaze Into This Ethereal Nebula and Glimpse Our Solar System's Future Captured by Chile’s Gemini South Telescope, this Spare Tire Nebula looks more like a crystal ball to us.

The Orion Nebula, as the closest site of massive ongoing star formation to Earth, has long been one of the most intensely studied objects in the night ...

What would we see if the solar system were located in a dark nebula like the Coal Sack? Would things look much different from inside a bright nebula such as the Orion?

The solar system is thought to have coalesced from a giant rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago.

In the past, the estimated lifetime of the solar nebula ranged anywhere from less than a million years to 10 million years.

"Refining the lifetime of the solar nebula is quite significant in terms of understanding how our solar system formed." ### ...

The dark nebula is part of the Circinus West molecular cloud, which stretches for 180 light-years, containing a mass 250,000 times that of the sun.
