Ever wondered how planetary systems like our own solar system form? Thanks to the European Space Agency's Gaia space ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense star-forming regions, revealing that Earth-like planets can form even in ...

Astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and UCLA will develop a next-generation instrument for detecting and ...

New radio astronomy observations of a planetary system in the process of forming show that once the first planets form close to the central star, these planets can help shepherd the material to form ...

A rare image reveals a giant planet clinging to two stars, helping scientists understand how planets survive in chaotic star ...

Researchers may have discovered the secret ingredient of planet growth, which causes some worlds to grow rapidly in disks of gas and dust around infant stars. The model could be of specific value in ...

Dr. Jane Huang's research on planet formation in harsh environments, particularly within the Sigma Orionis cluster, offers surprising insights into the universality of planet formation. In a recent ...

Using the XRISM space telescope, scientists spotted faint emissions of the elements in remnants of the Cassiopeia A supernova ...

"There are still many things related to planetary formation and the early evolution of young planetary systems that we don't understand." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Image of the young nearby 2MASS1612 system (also known as: RIK113) taken with the ESO Very Large Telescope in Chile. The image uses near infrared light that was scattered of the dust particles ...

Compared to the previous observations (left), the new ALMA observations (right) at longer wavelengths can better see into the dust ring and reveal a concentration of dust to the north-west (upper ...
