NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected metallic iron dust, silicon carbide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the nearby dwarf galaxy Sextans A, revealing early dust formation processes.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), employing its infrared capabilities, offered new insights into the Sombrero Galaxy (M104), revealing previously hidden stars by softening the appearance of its ...

Current evidence suggests that microparticles of cosmic dust collide and stick together to form larger dust aggregates that may eventually combine and develop into planets. Numerical models that ...

The study of evolved stars, particularly those in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, has unveiled a complex interplay between stellar evolution and the formation of circumstellar envelopes.
