A University of Portsmouth study suggests rocky planet building blocks may have formed just 100 million years after the Big Bang from the debris of the first stars.

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...

Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty protoplanetary disks that give birth to planets of all kinds. And when a star ...

There are a couple of ways that scientists can date planets, so which planets formed first in our solar system?

An artist's impression of the planetary system surrounding LHS 1903, a small red dwarf star cooler and dimmer than our Sun. (European Space Agency) (CN) — For decades, astronomers thought they had ...

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 ...

The universe rarely makes things easy to understand. For decades, researchers thought they had the recipe for a solar system figured out. You put a star in the middle, scatter some rocky crumbs nearby ...

Four planets orbiting a newly born star in our galaxy are so light that they have the density of polystyrene, and could provide a key missing link in helping us understand how the most common ...

Astronomers have found a planetary system that seems to have formed inside-out. While most systems, like our own, have rocky planets closest to their star and gaseous ones further out, the LHS 1903 ...
