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. It’s ...

Billions of years ago, in the icy outskirts of the solar system, a dramatic collision forged the unusual pairing of Pluto and its moon, Charon. This celestial dance defied expectations, birthing a ...

As the James Webb Space Telescope hurtles through space, it enables Earthbound researchers to look backward in time and study images of planets and galaxies as they looked billions of years ago.

Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular ...

Billions of years ago, in the frozen edges of the solar system, a violent impact shaped one of space’s oddest pairs. Instead of a typical planet-moon setup, Pluto and Charon became a binary system.

The discovery of a planet that is far too massive for its sun is calling into question what was previously understood about the formation of planets and their solar systems. The discovery of a planet ...

Spaghetti models—computer models that illustrate potential storm paths using meteorological data—suggested that Invest 94L could possibly track close to the southeastern U.S. from Florida to the ...
