Research findings are available online in the journal arXiv. The original story " Astronomers find an ultra-dense mega-Earth ...

Planets form from disks of gas and dust around young stars, but the gas needed for growth does not last forever. New ...

Researchers have developed a new model to explain the formation of giant planets such as Jupiter, which furnishes deeper insights into the processes of planet formation and could expand our ...

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has successfully observed a site of planet formation by detecting a high concentration of dust grains, a planet-forming material, outside the ...

Dr. Jane Huang's research on planet formation in harsh environments, particularly within the Sigma Orionis cluster, offers surprising insights into the universality of planet formation. In a recent ...

Rocky planets may have been able to start forming just 100 million years after the Big Bang, thanks to enormous early supernovae that scattered planet-building elements across space. Simulations found ...

Searching for exoplanets and clues on planet formation, the Roman telescope begins million-mile journey from Florida launchpad ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have studied 72 young sun-like stars to discover that forming planets is a ...

The astro-modified camera used to take this photo lets in the hydrogen alpha light that is normally filtered out. This modification makes the camera more sensitive to the red end of the ...

An international research team has discovered a new planet so young that it has yet to emerge from the womb of matter where it is forming. This is the youngest protoplanet discovered to date. It’s ...

Researchers at the University of Warwick investigated the “birth environment” of planets – areas of gas and dust that swirl around a central star – known as the protoplanetary disc. They discovered a ...
