A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four ...

The origin of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes has been revealed in a system of four young planets that are dramatically losing ...

Astronomers are increasingly finding planets that do not simply circle their stars in neat, clockwork ellipses but instead trace out paths that look more like intricate choreography. The latest ...

Astronomers have uncovered a rare exoplanet, HD 143811 AB b, that orbits two parent stars, mirroring the twin-sun system of Tatooine from Star Wars. This planet, however, presents an intriguing ...

Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable new planet which is estimated to be 6 percent larger than Earth. Named HD 137010 b, the planet is located about 146 light-away from Earth ...

If you think you've met the wildest exoplanet yet, you haven't learned about TOI-4507 b. Second, TOI-4507 b is on a nearly polar orbit; it swings around its star almost perfectly perpendicular to the ...

This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...

A new study has challenged a popular explanation for the unexpected 30-second shortening of Dimorphos's orbital period. The researchers found that the proposed mechanism would actually produce the ...

Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists that the asteroids could break off from their current trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The Venusian space rocks are ...
