The Milky Way can't hold onto all of its stars. Some of them get ejected into intergalactic space and spend their lives on an uncertain journey. A team of astronomers took a closer look at the most massive of these runaway stars to see what they could find out how they get ejected.

This Hubble image features the open cluster of stars NGC 460 located in a region of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Two new James Webb Space Telescope images show off massive bubbles carved out of a stellar nursery by giant, baby stars growing in a nearby galaxy.

Astronomers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and the MIT Kavli Institute and Department of Physics have discovered that magnetic fields in multiple star systems with at least one giant, hot blue star, are much more common than previously thought by scientists. The results significantly improve the understanding of massive stars and their role as…
