Using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, astronomers have gained new insights into how planets form around binary star systems, where two stars orbit a common centre of mass.

ALMA telescope sheds light on planet formation around binary stars

In a first, scientists have discovered a faint radio emission covering a giant galaxy with an energetic black hole at its centre. The discovery, made by using high contrast imaging, was made by a team of astronomers in Japan.

Scientists for first time discover radio emission covering giant galaxy with black hole

Scientists have identified the formation of three planetary systems around a binary star system called SVS 13. Located 980 light-years away, the binary star system and the complex structures of dust around it are shedding light on how planetary systems are born in these fascinating environments.

In a new study, scientists have discovered the largest molecule ever found in a planet-forming disk. Published in the Astronomy and Astrophysics, the study has been conducted by the Leiden University in the Netherlands in collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

Astronomers have discovered that our teeth and a galaxy which is 12 billion light-years away have something in common. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) along with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has detected fluorine in a distant galaxy called NGP-190387.

This element is found in both our teeth and in a galaxy which is 12 billion light years away

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory have captured a distant galaxy dying and losing its ability to form stars. A galaxy caught dying? @ALMAObs sees a distant galaxy ejecting nearly half of its star-forming gas at a rate equivalent to 10,000 Suns worth of gas a year, causing the galaxy to lose its fuel to make new stars.
