Objects like 3I/ATLAS could become the "seeds" of giant planets after being captured in the discs of dust and gas surrounding ...

Now, finding a young planet like this is a fairly difficult task, as it requires a long and patient hunt for young disk ...

The long-standing idea of planets forming in perfectly flat, orderly discs has been challenged by new research. Instead of ...

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds ...

A young star’s disk shows unexpectedly high CO₂ and little water. The result questions standard theories of planet formation.

Since the first discovery of planets beyond the solar system in 1995, more than 6,000 exoplanets have been identified. Many of these planets have properties that differ significantly from the eight ...

Astronomers have discovered the raw ingredients of planets orbiting two infant stars, offering a glimpse into how new worlds ...

In the last 25 years, scientists have discovered over 4000 planets beyond the borders of our solar system. From relatively small rock and water worlds to blisteringly hot gas giants, the planets ...

Dr. Jane Huang's research on planet formation in harsh environments, particularly within the Sigma Orionis cluster, offers surprising insights into the universality of planet formation. In a recent ...

New research suggests that exoplanets with masses similar to Jupiter may have formed much earlier than previously thought. As per the study conducted by scientists at Ohio State University, these gas ...

Scientists have long been intrigued by the surfaces of terrestrial bodies other than Earth that reveal deep similarities beneath their superficially differing volcanic and tectonic histories. A team ...

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously ...
