An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a ...

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.

LHS 1903 flips rock and gas on their heads, hinting that late-born planets can rewrite the rules around common red dwarfs for now.

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

Astronomers have found a distant world that challenges planetary formation theory, with a rocky planet where gas giants should be.

Hubble observations reveal a giant, turbulent planet-forming disk that may reshape theories of how planetary systems develop.

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...

Astronomers have found a rocky planet where it should not exist, orbiting far from a cool red star. Could this strange ...
