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 […] ...

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.

Using ALMA, scientists have discovered one of the largest molecules ever seen in space in the space-birthing Cat's Paw nebula. The discovery hints at how chemical complexity emerges as stars form.

Because NGC 6334 is nearby, astronomers can probe it in much greater detail, even down to counting the numbers of individual stars of various types and ages.
