An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how ...

Astronomers studying a dim red dwarf star called LHS 1903 have found a four-planet system with an architecture that defies the standard rules of how rocky worlds take shape. The outermost planet in ...

The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

Astronomers have spotted an unusual 'inside-out' planetary system where a rocky world seems to have formed far beyond the realm typically reserved for gas giants.

The long-standing idea of planets forming in perfectly flat, orderly discs has been challenged by new research. Instead of calm, pancake-shaped structures of dust and gas, astronomers have now ...

Astronomers say a newly discovered solar system about 116 light years from Earth is challenging long held ideas about how planets form.According to CNN, researchers using telescopes from NASA ...

What specific processes are responsible for planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of ...

Scientists have identified a rocky outer planet in a system where a gas giant was expected. The discovery challenges ...

A recent astronomical discovery has shaken long-held beliefs about how planets form. For decades, scientists thought that stars much smaller than our Sun couldn't form giant planets. That theory just ...

Astronomers have discovered seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around the baby sunlike star providing *** peek into the start of our own solar system. The the thing that we've discovered is ...
