In a stellar nursery 460 light-years away, astronomers sharpened old ALMA data and spotted crisp rings and spirals swirling ...

Identifying the formation period of planetary systems, such as our solar system, could be the beginning of the journey to ...

Young planets are often too small to be detected directly, and many protoplanetary disks are too distant to be observed in detail. Instead, astronomers look for indirect evidence, such as rings, gaps, ...

"Each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, ...

TOI-4860b is a fairly nearby planet in another star system located just 260 light-years away. It’s also quite strange. It’s a ...

Most disks observed were about 30 astronomical units wide, roughly 30 times the Earth-Sun distance. The presence of intricate structures in such early systems implies a parallel evolution of infant ...

Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star. The discovery defies current understanding of how planets form.

A stronomers are scratching their heads over a recently discovered planet. The planet, dubbed TOI-6894b, orbits a star 238 ...

Signs of planet formation may appear earlier than expected around still-forming baby stars, according to new results of ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been unwaveringly focused on our universe. With its unprecedented power to detect and ...

The planet, TOI-6894b, is about the size of Saturn but orbits a star just a fifth the mass of our Sun. This challenges long-standing ideas about how big planets form, especially around small stars.

Last week the James Webb Space Telescope captured a direct image of what they believe to be a previously unknown exoplanet ...
