Oct. 6, 2023 Astronomers have gotten very good at spotting the signs of planet formation around stars. But for a complete understanding of planet formation, we also need to study examples where planet formation ...
Nov. 17, 2022 When Mars was a young planet, it was bombarded by icy asteroids that delivered water and organic chemistry necessary for life to emerge. According to the professor behind a new study, this means that ...
May 26, 2022 So far, we haven't discovered any exoplanets with co-orbital objects. A new study suggests tides could be causing oscillations that remove co-orbitals before we can find ...
Dec. 8, 2021 The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) has captured an image of a planet orbiting b Centauri, a two-star system that can be seen with the naked eye. This is ...
Nov. 10, 2021 A new method has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two ...
Sep. 9, 2022 Of all known planets, Earth is as friendly to life as any planet could possibly be -- or is it? If Jupiter's orbit changes, a new study shows Earth could be more hospitable than it is ...
Dec. 22, 2022 When NASA's Mars rovers found manganese oxides in rocks in the Gale and Endeavor craters on Mars in 2014, the discovery sparked some scientists to suggest that the red planet might have once had ...
July 25, 2022 New paleomagnetic research suggests a more precise estimate for the age of Earth's solid inner core. The research provides clues about the history and future evolution of Earth and how it became ...
Apr. 4, 2022 An international research team has discovered a new planet so young that it has yet to emerge from the womb of matter where it is forming. This is the youngest protoplanet discovered to date. ...
Nov. 12, 2021 New supercomputer simulations show that after creating a ring, a planet can move away and leave the ring behind. Not only does this bolster the planet theory for ring formation, the simulations show ...
