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 ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

Scientists have identified a rocky outer planet in a system where a gas giant was expected. The discovery challenges ...

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

The idea of waging war in orbit is no longer a figment of science fiction. As satellite technologies and launch capabilities ...

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.
