Thanks to the discovery of thousands of exoplanets to date, we know that planets bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune ...

A four-planet system reveals remarkable insights about how planets form and how they change during their lifetime.

"The combination of extreme disk size, strong asymmetries, winds, and potential planet formation makes it the perfect ...

Roughly 1,000 light-years away from Earth, a gigantic disk of gas and dust is swirling around a young star and giving rise to new planets. Not only is it the largest planet-forming disk astronomers ...

Astronomers discovered Gomez’s Hamburger, a massive protoplanetary disk. Edge-on view shows dust and gas layers with clumps ...

Most planetary systems contain worlds larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and the low-density planets around one ...

Astronomers have discovered a giant Saturn-sized planet orbiting TOI-6894, the smallest star ever known to host such a world. The finding overturns long-held theories suggesting that tiny, low-mass ...

Visualisation of the warped disc around the young star MWC 758, with warping exaggerated by a factor four to make it visible. Both panels show properties of the disc inferred from CO emission. On the ...

In the swirling clouds of gas and dust that surround newborn stars, planets begin to form. These planet-forming disks are rich with clues about how worlds like Earth come to be. Until now, scientists ...
