A team of astronomers studied the densest regions of the molecular gas clouds in our galaxy, known as cores, and found that the way these cores start collapsing to form new stars is different from what was previously thought.

An international team of astronomers studied the gas jet expelled from the center of a giant galaxy and found a magnetic field in the form of a corkscrew that funnels and shapes the jet material to a distance of nearly 3,300 light-years. This is the furthest distance from the jet origin that a magnetic field has yet been detected.
