A low-density, puffy planet orbiting relatively far from a young star in a nearly perpendicular orbit. What's going on?

Could a lonely planet wander aimlessly through the restless galaxy change the subtle dance of gravity within our solar system ...

Astronomers have discovered an alien world that defies every planetary rule with its massive size, low density, and tilted ...

Warm Jupiters are rewriting the rules of planet formation - showing eccentric orbits that stay strangely aligned with their ...

Astronomers spotted a young planet, WISPIT 2b, forming within a dusty ring around its star system, offering clues about the ...

Scientists spotted the heavy water (which we'll get into in just a moment) in the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around ...

Astronomers are investigating a strange class of exoplanets known as eccentric warm Jupiters — massive gas giants that orbit their stars in unexpected, elongated paths. Unlike their close-orbiting ...

What can theoretical models teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets? This is what a recent funding ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The ...
