Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

LHS 1903 flips rock and gas on their heads, hinting that late-born planets can rewrite the rules around common red dwarfs for now.

The discovery overturns traditional models that predicted gas giants in outer orbits and suggests planets can form in gas-poor environments.

New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets.

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

Researchers in the Department of Computer Science and BioFrontiers Institute are studying honeycomb formation in bees with the hope of one day recreating the same intricate and impressive hexagonal ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.
