General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

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 ...

If executed at the scale, Musk's orbital data center plan could have devastating effects on the environment and the ...

This video explains how the solar system formed and why most planets move in the same direction, using basic physics and observations from astronomy to break it down clearly.

6 planets will align in a 'planet parade' Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, shortly after sunset. Here's which planets you might see and how to best view them.

The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than the familiar one by which most systems grow ...

Suzie Dills says people in Canton will be able to see a total lunar eclipse in March. Here's when and where to look.

12 years of W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of star system HR 8799 have been time-lapsed. The system hosts four planets that ...

With six additional satellites launching in May and continued expansion later this year, the EarthDaily Constellation will enter commercial operations in Summer 2026, delivering daily, consistent ...

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...

Extreme solar activity or even a software glitch could put us just days away from a satellite collision in low-Earth orbit.

According to NASA, at least one bright planet can be seen on most nights, depending on the weather.
