The James Webb Space Telescope detects methyl cation (CH3+) in a young star system with a protoplanetary disk that is located ...

A nebula is basically a large cloud of gas – in that, there are several different categories that define the type of nebula we are viewing. Today, I wanted to talk about protoplanetary nebulae ...

At that time, the sun was surrounded by a disk of material known as a protoplanetary nebula that was gradually dissipating as it coalesced into the planets we know and love.

In the Orion Nebula, the brightest and most massive stars emit intense ultraviolet radiation that illuminates protoplanetary disks, allowing them to be photographed in unusual detail.

The aptly named Egg Nebula, lying 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, is a protoplanetary nebula.

One stage that stars pass through as they run out of nuclear fuel is called the preplanetary or protoplanetary nebula stage.

Proplyds, which are ionized protoplanetary disks, struggle to survive in the Orion Nebula as they come under an onslaught of radiation from a nearby massive star.

The pale-blue-dot picture captured a whole world, and the Webb snapshot holds something even greater. This protoplanetary disk is about five times wider than our solar system out to Neptune.

A protoplanetary disk is the same disk after the star has formed but while planets are still forming.) The study is "Wind erosion and transport on planetesimals." ...

A group of extremely bright stars may be slowly reshaping the Orion Nebula and stopping one of their neighbors from forming planets, new James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest.
