Astronomers have discovered a planetary system that appears to flip one of astronomy's most reliable rules on its head.

A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...

Astronomers have spotted an unusual 'inside-out' planetary system where a rocky world seems to have formed far beyond the realm typically reserved for gas giants.

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

As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system’s chaotic youth.

The outer reaches of our Solar System continue to reveal a complex dynamical environment where the interplay of gravitational forces shapes the orbits of a myriad of distant bodies. Research in this ...

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

SHOCKED astronomers have spotted a “rogue” planet that defies historic theories. A unique “inside out” planetary system with a distant rocky world turns our ...

These icy bodies orbit the sun just like the major planets, yet they follow their own rules, often traveling along elongated paths far beyond Neptune. Their distant homes in the Kuiper Belt and ...
