Far beyond our solar system, in the distant Pegasus constellation, lies a star system that is reshaping our understanding of planetary formation. HR 8799, located 129 light-years away, is home to a ...

Astronomers have spotted an unusual 'inside-out' planetary system where a rocky world seems to have formed far beyond the realm typically reserved for gas giants.

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

Gas giants are massive worlds made mostly of hydrogen and helium. They lack solid surfaces, and in our solar system, Jupiter ...

For the first time, astronomers have successfully observed a planet in the midst of its formation, a groundbreaking achievement that provides invaluable insights into the processes that shape ...
