During this clumping together, gaps open up in the protoplanetary disk, which we see as rings around the star. The Atacama ...

Professor Susanne Pfalzner from the Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany presented her new findings at the EPSC-DPS2025 joint meeting held in Helsinki: interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS could become ...

Astronomers studying an oddball brown dwarf called “The Accident” have finally spotted silane, a long-predicted silicon ...

Some planets may be soot-rich rather than water-based. Atmosphere studies will be key to understanding their true nature.

Astronomers have directly spotted a rare young planet, WISPIT 2b, still forming within the gap of a dusty ringed disk around ...

A young star’s disk shows unexpectedly high CO₂ and little water. The result questions standard theories of planet formation.

Searching for exoplanets within these disks is highly challenging. Astronomers use clues from the shape and morphology of the disks to infer the presence of exoplanets. Fomalhaut's debris disk ...

Our Solar System is home to many worlds, including protoplanets and dwarf planets. Protoplanets can grow into dwarf planet ...
