MSU Researchers Use Strong-Field Laser to Recreate Interstellar Ions

Trihydrogen, or H3+, has been called the molecule that made the universe, where it plays a greater role in astrochemistry than any other molecule. While H3+ is astronomically abundant, no scientist understood the mechanisms that form it from organic molecules.

New Research Provides Insight on Gravitational Dance that Drives Star Formation in Interstellar Medium

Swirling motions in clouds of cold, dense gas have given, for the first time, an active insight into how gravity creates the compact cores from which stars form in the interstellar medium. The results will be presented today, Thursday 6 July, by Gwen Williams at the National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Hull.

Fastest-Moving Stars in the Galaxy are Runaways from a Much Smaller Galaxy

A team of Astronomers have demonstrated that the fastest-moving stars in the galaxy are actually runaways from a much smaller galaxy in orbit around our own. These stars travel so fast that they are capable of escaping the Milky Way.
