How many dwarf planets are there in our solar system? The recent discovery of 2017 OF201 makes the tally anywhere between ...

Stars passing close to the sun could cause planets to collide, including with Earth, or even be ejected as rogue planets, new ...

For the dwarf planet candidate, one trip around the sun takes over 24,000 years. Its orbit challenges a proposed path for a hypothetical Planet Nine.

Astronomers using ALMA have uncovered how gas and dust in planet-forming disks evolve separately an insight that reshapes our understanding of how different types of planets form. While dust lingers, ...

AGE-PRO observed 30 planet-forming disks around sunlike stars to measure gas disk mass at different ages. The study revealed that gas and dust components in these disks evolve at different rates.

In other words, 2017 OF201 likely would not be able to remain if Planet Nine does exist. But Yang said more research is needed, and the discovery of the new dwarf planet candidate is not ...

A potential new dwarf planet has been discovered in the outer reaches of the solar system, and its existence poses the ...

“I’ve stopped looking at anything related to NOAA,” Veenstra said. “It would have been a great place to work, but it’s like, I don’t know if I could find a job. If I could find a job, I don’t know if ...

Not all of the previous claims for evidence of extraterrestrial life involve the Red Planet. In 2020, Earth-based observations of Venus’s atmosphere implied the presence of low levels of phosphine gas ...

Warmer planets usually have thick atmospheres that trap heat. So, perhaps the Martian atmosphere used to be thicker and composed of heat-trapping carbon dioxide. If Mars did once have a thicker carbon ...
