Astronomers have directly spotted a rare young planet, WISPIT 2b, still forming within the gap of a dusty ringed disk around a star like our sun—something long theorized but never observed until now.

Most planet-forming disks have warps that can lead to planets on inclined orbits, which could explain where the tilt of Earth's orbit came from.

Astronomers have picked up evidence of an Earth-sized world, distinct from the previously hypothesised Planet Nine and Planet ...
