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

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

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

A newly discovered planet orbiting a distant star may change scientists’ understanding of how planetary systems form. View on ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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