Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 ...

AI-boosted simulation models one hundred billion Milky Way stars over ten thousand years, achieving one hundred times the ...

A bizarre planet defies cosmic norms: scientists have confirmed a giant planet orbiting in reverse around one star in a close binary system—an arrangement previously thought impossible. Using advanced ...

The exploration of binary star systems reveals surprises that challenge our conceptions of planetary formation. Thanks to NASA's TESS satellite, specialized in hunting exoplanets, an ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Observations of the young HOPS-315 star system show an environment analogous to what our own nascent Solar System would have looked like billions of years ago. The star is surrounded by a ...

Gaze upon the magnificent beauty of this newly found star system in orbital “resonance,” where its six exoplanets orbit their star in astoundingly perfect — and rare — mathematical harmony.

Astronomers have discovered a rare star system in which six planets orbit around one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance. Using both NASA’s Transiting ...

When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images of the universe’s earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

A rare interstellar visitor, comet 3I/ATLAS, is currently traversing our solar system, offering scientists a unique chance to study an object from another star. This comet, unlike those orbiting our ...
