What can rocky planets orbiting in the outer parts of a solar system teach scientists about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study | Space ...
In a conventional system like our own, rocky planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars orbit closest to the host star. Farther out, gas giants ...
A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.
Scientists have identified a rocky outer planet in a system where a gas giant was expected. The discovery challenges traditional models and supports the idea that planets may form one by one in ...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have for the first time identified hydrogen sulfide gas in the atmospheres of three gas-giant exoplanets orbiting HR 8799, a ...
Gas giants possibly developed slowly in the solar system. They developed cores layer by layer within a disk of ice and dust ...
An inside-out planetary system around the star LHS 1903 is turning everything that astronomers know about planet formation upside down.
Astronomers have long thought solar systems follow a simple pattern similar to our own: small, rocky worlds orbit close to ...
Astronomers have observed a planetary system that challenges current planet formation theories, with a rocky planet that ...
Astronomers have found a unique planetary system orbiting a red dwarf star. The system includes a rocky planet situated beyond its gaseous siblings, contradicting existing planet formation theories.
An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form.
Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...
