Astronomers studying a dim red dwarf star called LHS 1903 have found a four-planet system with an architecture that defies ...

The system, observed using the European Space Agency's Cheops space telescope, consists of four planets — two rocky and two ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...

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 ...

The newly discovered exoplanet HD 135344 Ab can be seen as a yellow dot on the right side of the image. It was measured in 2019 (2x), 2021, and 2022. The empty purple circle with the star in the ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Astronomers have spotted a small rocky planet that orbits perilously close to its host star disintegrating as its surface is vaporized by stellar heat, trailed by a comet-like ...

A team of scientists has found a new planet which orbits the wrong way around its host star. The planet, named WASP-17, and orbiting a star 1000 light years away, was found by the UK’s WASP project in ...

Astronomers have observed a planetary system that challenges current planet formation theories, with a rocky planet that formed beyond the orbits of its gaseous neighbors, possibly after much of the ...
