Using 3-D models run on some of the fastest computers in the world, laboratory physicists have created a mathematical code that cracks a mystery surrounding stellar evolution. Using 3D models run ...

An astrophysicist and artist has used 3D printing to create detailed resin spheres of stellar nurseries using data collected from these star-forming regions of space. The resin globes made by Nia ...

The first 3D view of the formation and evolution of globular clusters. Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica. DOI 10.1051/0004-6361/202451054 ...

Astronomers can't touch the stars they study, but an astrophysicist is using 3-dimensional models that fit in the palm of her hand to unravel the structural complexities of stellar nurseries, the ...

Despite the cute name, “stellar nurseries” are mysterious areas of dust and gas, where stars are formed, which continue to fascinate scientists. A recent innovation in developing models of ...

This 3D model represents BP Tau, a young star just a few million years old that's still in the early stages of its stellar development. Surrounding the star is a rotating disk of gas and dust, a ...

A new 3D model illuminates an explosive two-star system. The double-star system V745 Sco is about 25,000 light-years from Earth, and consists of a big, aging red giant star and a small stellar ...

A stunning 3D flythrough built from scientific models provides an unparalleled view of these star-forming regions. Switching between visible and infrared light, the visualization uncovers hidden ...

To understand the explosive dance between two stars in a close orbit, researchers turned to a 3D model — and even 3D printed it to get a more intuitive view. The double-star system V745 Sco is about ...
