An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form.

Astronomers say a newly discovered solar system about 116 light years from Earth is challenging long held ideas about how planets form.According to CNN, researchers using telescopes from NASA ...

Since the 1990s, astronomers have found a handful of other dwarf planets in the belt, such as Eris and Sedna, along with ...

Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...

In 2006, Pluto was officially reclassified as a dwarf planet. The decision came down to one controversial rule about clearing ...
