They show no preference for regions of current stellar formation.
Scientists hope this gift will shed new light on stellar formation.
Red supergiants are the least dense and among the coolest of all stellar formations, particularly in the surface areas.
Tyson's research has focused on observations in cosmology, evolution, galactic astronomy and stellar formation.
Within those galaxies which have tidal tails, approximately 10% of the galaxy's stellar formation takes place in the tail.
Overall, roughly 1% of all stellar formation in the known universe occurs within tidal tails.
Their model of stellar formation began as a traditional simulation of a cosmological volume.
The first ever detection of the earliest stages of stellar formation.
These are now interpreted as dwarf galaxies experiencing large bursts of stellar formation, resulting in blue light from young, massive stars.
It is one of the most intense regions of stellar formation visible in our galaxy.
