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 ...

Astronomers have detected a rogue planet with a mass equivalent to that of Saturn, and by taking observations from both the ground and space, they have also been able to measure its size and distance ...

Nearly 10,000 light years away, a planet the size of Saturn is floating all on its own through empty space. In a stroke of luck, researchers were able to spot this strange, dark world using both ...

When we imagine a planet, we think of one like ours, orbiting a star. But some have a far lonelier existence, drifting through interstellar space without a sun to call their own. Known as “rogue” or ...

“BOYS II PLANET” spin-off “PLANET C : HOME RACE” has aired its final episode! “PLANET C : HOME RACE” featured 18 contestants from PLANET C on “BOYS II PLANET” who did not make it to the final group, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an astonishing exoplanet that’s stretching our understanding of what’s possible for these distant worlds. And when we say say “stretch, ...

An unusual object orbiting a rapidly spinning star might be a new phenomenon in the universe. By Jonathan O’Callaghan Earth isn’t a perfect sphere. The rotation of our planet causes it to bulge ever ...

No known process explains how such a carbon-heavy planet as PSR J2322-2650 b could form, according to new research. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Ralf Crawford illustration Astronomers have found a ...

Astronomers have found what appears to be one of the strangest known worlds in the universe. It orbits a type of rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar – this in itself is unusual, but it is ...

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed an entirely new type of exoplanet whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how this type of planet forms. This ...
