Earth and its neighbors orbit the sun on a relatively flat plane. But what's below this plane, and is anythign below the ...

The survey, known as ALMA to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS), focused on debris disks. Debris disks are vast belts of dust and ice left behind after planets finish forming. These ...

The planets in the solar system draw elliptical orbits around the sun. Regarding these orbits, astronomers have proposed the theory that 'sometimes they are stable and sometimes unstable,' and have ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a massive planet in the Nu Octantis binary star system, first suspected in 2004. Using advanced tools like the HARPS spectrograph, researchers found that ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured a detailed snapshot of planetary systems in an era long shrouded in mystery.

For centuries, astronomers have sought to understand the formation and evolution of the solar system and the dynamics that govern it. In particular, there is the long-standing question of whether or ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured a detailed snapshot of planetary systems in an era long shrouded in mystery.

The Solar System remains a unique natural laboratory for exploring the processes that govern planetary formation, evolution and dynamics. Contemporary research continues to refine our understanding of ...

Astronomers have revealed new research showing that millions of new solar system objects are likely to be detected by a brand-new facility, which is expected to come online later this year.

The idea of an undiscovered giant planet lurking in the Solar System might seem far-fetched, but new simulations suggest that a giant ice planet could be hidden beyond Neptune. This follows a pattern ...
