Astronomers have identified NGC 6334 as a region in our galaxy that may deserve the “starburst” title and may help explain what leads to the furious production of new stars in this type of region.

To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local ...

NGC 6334 is located about 5500 light-years away from Earth, while NGC 6357 is more remote, at a distance of 8000 light-years. Both are in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion), near the tip … ...

The Cat’s Paw Nebula, NGC 6334, is a huge stellar nursery, the birthplace of hundreds of massive stars. In a magnificent new ESO image taken with the Visible and Infrared […] ...

A massive protostar, deeply nestled in its dust-filled stellar nursery, recently roared to life, shining nearly 100 times brighter than before. This outburst, apparently triggered by an avalanche ...

In this week's Astronomy magazine podcast, we'll help you observe the Rho Ophiuchi region, the Turtle Nebula (NGC 6210), and the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) in your July night sky.

To celebrate its third year of revealing stunning scenes of the cosmos in infrared light, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope ...

The Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) is a vast region of star formation. This new portrait of NGC 6334 was created from images taken with the Wide Field Imager instrument at the 2.2-m MPG/ESO telescope ...

The Cat's Paw nebula, also known as NGC 6334, is one of the most prolific star factories in the Milky Way. The newly installed ArTeMis camera on the APEX telescope delivers this stunning near ...

Officially called NGC 6334 (Cat's Paw) and NGC 6357 (Lobster), the nebulae are located in the "tail" of the constellation Scorpius, and represent regions of intense star formation.

A research team in Japan has performed deep imaging linear and circular polarimetry of the 'Cat's Paw Nebula' (NGC 6334) located in the constellation Scorpius, successfully detecting high degrees ...
