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

An organic molecule called methanimine was found scattered throughout a dense clump of gas and dust 554 light-years away.

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: ...

The dust and gas cloud designated L1544 is located 554 light-years away in the Taurus Molecular Cloud.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a strange disk of gas and dust around an infant star that could challenge current models of planet formation. The ...

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud and called it "Eos." It is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.

Webb Telescope finds crystalline water ice around star HD 181327. This discovery could reveal how icy bodies contribute to ...

What stage of a star’s life do planets start forming? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a pair of researchers from the Southwest Research Institute ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive hydrogen cloud, known as Eos, shining brightly in ultraviolet light near our solar system. This newly detected cloud offers fresh insights into how stars and ...

Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline silicates, since crystals require intense heat to form and these "dirty ...
