Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

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

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

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

Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

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 ...

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

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

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

Gas giants are large planets mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. Although these planets have dense cores, they don't ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...
