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 ...
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 ...
Comet Wierzchoś, also known as C/2024 E1, is rapidly brightening as it approaches its closest point to Earth next week. But experts predict it will eventually be thrown out of the solar system ...
Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...
The interstellar visitor, only the third such object to be discovered passing through our solar system, ignited controversial ...
For millions of years, a frozen wanderer drifted between the stars before slipping into our solar system as 3I/ATLAS—only the ...
The planets orbit a star around 133 light-years away from Earth.
A Harvard scientist has suggested that our Solar System may be far more crowded with interstellar objects than anyone realized.
Scientists have finally discovered how amino acids essential for life formed on the 4.6-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu.
The new plot twist is that in order to keep enough nitrogen and phosphorus near its surface, a planet has to start out with exactly the right amount of oxygen in its mix.
This twist — that 3I/ATLAS' outer layers have been baked by the sun — does not derail our mission. It just makes the science ...
Using HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs, astronomers have observed a nearby K-type star designated HD 176986, known to host two ...
