Surprising Discovery of New Molecule Expands Understanding of Protoplanets

Astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian, have made an exciting breakthrough in the study of protoplanets. Charles Law, the lead author of...

Two Earth-mass exoplanets orbiting nearby star discovered

An international team of astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets. They were transiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as GJ 1002 using the radial...

Study of ‘polluted’ white dwarfs finds that stars and planets grow together

Astronomers have discovered evidence that planetary formation can begin very quickly after the birth of a star. This incredible insight into the histories of...

Early planetary migration can explain missing planets

Rice University scientists and their collaborators are the first to use computer simulations to integrate a model of planet formation and evolution. It explains...

How planets can be an anti-aging formula for stars

Tidal pressures exerted by a hot Jupiter may cause its host star to spin faster than it would without the planet. Because of its...

Two massive Jupiter-sized exoplanets discovered with TESS

An international team of astronomers has discovered two new extrasolar planets using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newly discovered alien worlds, TOI-5152...

Why we have not discovered co-orbital exoplanets? Tides explain a possible answer

There are thousands of co-orbital objects in our solar system, which are entities that orbit the sun or a planet in the same orbit....

Tiny probes could sail to outer planets with the help of low-power lasers

Space travel can be agonizingly slow. The New Horizons probe took almost 10 years to reach Pluto. Traveling to Proxima Centauri b would require...
