Thanks to the discovery of thousands of exoplanets to date, we know that planets bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune ...

Astronomers now understand that water-rich planets can form internally, even close to stars. A new study reveals that high-pressure reactions between hydrogen and molten rock within sub-Neptunes ...

Most planetary systems contain worlds larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and the low-density planets around one ...

Astronomers now understand that water-rich planets can form internally, even close to stars. A new study reveals that high-pressure reactions between hydrogen and molten rock within sub-Neptunes ...

Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty ...

Astronomers using ALMA have discovered that planet-forming discs are not flat and serene but subtly warped, reshaping our understanding of how planets form. These slight tilts, similar to those seen ...

In the swirling clouds of gas and dust that surround newborn stars, planets begin to form. These planet-forming disks are rich with clues about how worlds like Earth come to be. Until now, scientists ...

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever observed circling a young ...

For decades, scientists have studied how planets form by looking at young stars nearby, assuming that these environments could be representative of all star systems. However, as astronomers discover ...

Astronomers may have finally worked out how planets between the size of Earth and Neptune – which aren't found in our Solar ...

An international team of astronomers has announced an astonishing discovery - three Earth-sized planets orbiting within a rare double-star system located about 190 light-years from Earth. The findings ...
