The chemical foundations of life could be found in the frigid pockets of molecular clouds that exist in the space between ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists ...

Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential for life as we know it can form readily in space. This discovery, ...

Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a ...

Astrophysicists are mapping a vast, hidden structure in the gas around the Sun that behaves like a tunnel carved through interstellar space, potentially linking our solar system to distant stars.

The study of astrochemistry delves into the formation, evolution and destruction of molecules across the vast expanses of the interstellar medium (ISM). Within these regions—from cold dark molecular ...

An instrument built by the University of Colorado Boulder will soon launch on a NASA space mission where it will aim to collect interstellar dust particles hurtling through space at an average of 16 ...

NASA’s newly launched IMAP mission is set to tell us more about the boundary between our Solar System and interstellar space ...
