Astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. Called STARFORGE (Star Formation in Gaseous Environments), the computational framework is ...

In addition to spheres representing nine different simulations, the researchers also printed half-spheres to reveal the mid-plane data. Lighter material corresponds to regions of higher density, while ...

A new simulation from an international team of scientists has given some insight into the inner workings of a star and how stars twinkle. At the heart of stars is extremely hot material the moves ...

Black holes seen grabbing wayward stars in 3D simulation At Northwestern University, astrophysicists conducted a simulation in which black holes can be seen "taking bites" out of stars — then spitting ...
