A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

Astronomers have found a distant world that challenges planetary formation theory, with a rocky planet where gas giants should be.

A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...

Artist impression of the planetary system with four planets,around a small red star,called LHS1903. Caption: Astronomers have long thought solar systems follow a simple pattern similar to our own: ...

Astronomers studying a distant solar system have uncovered an unexpected cosmic arrangement that could challenge long-standing theories about how planets form and evolve. Using the ...

We know that our Solar System is not the blueprint for all planetary systems out there. There are gas giant planets orbiting ...

Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...

Astronomers say a newly discovered solar system about 116 light years from Earth is challenging long held ideas about how planets form.According to CNN, researchers using telescopes from NASA ...

Astronomers have found a rocky planet where it should not exist, orbiting far from a cool red star. Could this strange ...

A rocky exoplanet in the LHS 1903 system defies planet formation models, hinting that gravitational upheaval reshaped the red dwarf’s four worlds.

In our Solar System, the inner planets (Mercury to Mars) are rocky, and the outer planets (Jupiter to Neptune) are gaseous. This planetary pattern – rock then gas - is consistently observed acro ...
