Marine bacteria carried by warm and moisture-laden atmospheric rivers contribute to the formation of ice clouds at unexpectedly high temperatures in high-latitude regions, research from Japan suggests ...

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it's actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a ...

Molecular clouds are huge masses of gas and dust that are remnants of galaxy formation.

This experiment demonstrates how clouds form in our atmosphere through the interaction of warm and cold air. You'll create a miniature version of this natural process ...

ALMA, located in the Chilean Atacama desert, is the most powerful telescope for observing the cool Universe — molecular gas and dust. ALMA studies the building blocks of stars, planetary systems, ...

A new study found tiny microplastics — sized between 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers — in cloud water collected from high-altitude summits in Japan. The researchers suggest that microplastics could therefore ...
