NEW YORK (AP) — Six planets are linking up in the sky at the end of February, and most will be visible to the naked eye. It’s ...

The stars may not align, but the planets will. Stargazers are in for a treat later this month when six planets form a line during a rare event scientists are dubbing a “planetary parade.” The ...

Planetary systems in the Milky Way galaxy tend to follow a particular pattern: rocky planets toward the center, closest to ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a ...

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

The discovery overturns traditional models that predicted gas giants in outer orbits and suggests planets can form in gas-poor environments.

About 4.6 billion years ago, a celestial cloud collapsed, paving the way for our solar system to form. Then, a nebula with strong gravitational pull took shape, kick-starting the birth of the sun. But ...

Mark your calendars for the last week of February, because one of the coolest celestial events is coming up where six planets will be visible in the night sky at the same time. This phenomenon, known ...

Scientists have observed a “rogue planet” that is growing at an alarming rate as it gobbles up six billion tons of gas and dust every second, a new paper revealed. The newly studied object, formally ...

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 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 ...
