The Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have revealed thousands of young star clusters emerging from their birth clouds.

The result has important implications for our understanding of star formation and how the young stars affect their surroundings.

The way work and care are divided in a relationship affects how hard women are hit financially when they separate.
