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 ...
General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...
A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.
In a real-life twist on Star Wars' Tatooine—a harsh desert planet with twin suns and a criminal underbelly—astronomers have found a bizarre new world that orbits two stars at a perfect right angle.
Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...
A new "Tatooine-like" planet outside the solar system may orbit two failed stars, scientists reported Wednesday.Related video above: The dark energy pushing our universe apart may not be what it seems ...
Space is getting crowded — nowadays, over 45,000 human-made objects orbit Earth. A portion of that figure is indeed ...
