A sunlike star next door called Alpha Centauri A may host a huge planet, researchers report in two studies in press in Astrophysical Journal Letters. The planet candidate orbits in its star’s ...

Scientists may have discovered a dwarf planet far beyond Neptune — an unearthing that may disprove a longstanding theory about the possibility of a giant ninth planet. The dwarf planet's existence ...

A bizarre planet may orbit two brown dwarfs in a steep, pole-skimming path—an unheard-of tilt that challenges our understanding of planetary motion. Detected via gravitational wobbles, it might be the ...

Pakistan, May 27 -- Astronomers have discovered a new dwarf planet, named 2017 OF201, far beyond Pluto's orbit. It takes 25,000 years to orbit the sun-much longer than Pluto's 248 years. This makes it ...

May 27, 2025, TUCSON, Ariz. – In the cold, dark outskirts of planetary systems far beyond the reach of the known planets, mysterious gas giants and planetary masses orbit their stars – sometimes ...

Named 2017 OF201, the newly-discovered trans-Neptunian object is one of the most distant visible objects in our Solar System and is likely large (about 700 km in diameter) enough to qualify as a dwarf ...

After years of observation, researchers finally understand how a pair of stars can maintain a stable orbital dance with an elusive planet. In 2004, David Ramm at the University of Canterbury in New ...

This is an artist’s impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b’s unusual orbit around its host stars, a pair of brown dwarfs. The newly discovered planet has a polar orbit, which is perpendicular to ...
