Scientists say a nearby red dwarf star hosts a planetary lineup that looks like a mirror image of our own solar system, with ...
A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.
Astronomers have found a distant world that challenges planetary formation theory, with a rocky planet where gas giants should be.
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 ...
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.
