Understanding the formation of stars together with their subsequent evolution and identifying the physical processes that ...

The interstellar plasma is turbulent and scatters pulsar radio waves slightly away from a direct, straight line path. The ...

Astronomers have described the first measurements of plasma layers within an interstellar shock wave that surrounds a pulsar.

There's a bunch of dust—literal dust grains—floating within the galaxy. Well, I say there's a lot of dust, but it's at very, very low densities. Thankfully, the volumes within interstellar ...

The pulsar and its wind move with supersonic speed through the interstellar medium – the stuff (gas, dust and plasma) between the stars. This creates a bow shock: a shock wave of heated gas that ...

This bubble is carved out of the interstellar medium and is about 1,000 light years ... When you have a giant molecular cloud, a big cloud of gas and dust, it's...big. A single giant molecular ...
