Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for ...
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A new theory of how planets form finds havens of stability amid violent turbulence in the swirling gas that surrounds a young star. These protected areas are where planets can ...
Your weight changes on other planets and moons due to different gravitational pulls. Weight is how much gravity pulls on you; mass (amount of matter) stays the same. Newton's Law of Gravitation ...
Astronomers keep finding planets that shouldn’t exist, and that means we need new models to explain how they form. Even the astronomers who discovered the newfound planet can’t explain how gas giant ...
On Tuesday, the European Southern Observatory released a new image that could advance our fundamental understanding of how brand new planets are formed. Located over 5000 light-years away in the ...
A key method of forming planets finally has observational evidence, thanks to a network of radio telescopes in the U.K. that have resolved the existence of a huge abundance of centimeter-sized pebbles ...
Some pass close enough to be noticed, like comet 3I/ATLAS now crossing our Solar System. Scientists believe these visitors may be more than curiosities. ‘ New research suggests they could play a ...

Scientists outline 4 types of planetary systems in our universe
Across the galaxy, astronomers now see that planetary systems fall into four broad classes, and our own solar system, part of the rare Ordered group, is only one of them. At the same time, discoveries ...
Scientists understand the basic process by which planets are formed: a disk of dust and gas swirls around a star, and small knots form due to perturbations. These knots attract more material and ...
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A ‘gravity hole’ on Earth? Earlier this summer, researchers with the Indian Institute of Science published a paper exploring one of these ‘gravity holes’. Found all over the planet, ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The James Webb Space Telescope has observed two large planets at different stages of infancy - one with an atmosphere brimming with dusty clouds and the other encircled by a disk ...
