Does This Planet Break the Theory of Planet Formation Scientists Rely On?
Even under intense ultraviolet radiation from giant stars, the raw ingredients for planets can endure. Using Webb s powerful infrared eyes, astronomers examined a young star in the Lobster Nebula and ...
The long-standing idea of planets forming in perfectly flat, orderly discs has been challenged by new research. Instead of calm, pancake-shaped structures of dust and gas, astronomers have now ...
Dr. Jane Huang's research on planet formation in harsh environments, particularly within the Sigma Orionis cluster, offers surprising insights into the universality of planet formation. In a recent ...
A team of astronomers recently discovered something they didn’t predict in a “cosmic hamburger” — one of the biggest ...
Image of the young nearby 2MASS1612 system (also known as: RIK113) taken with the ESO Very Large Telescope in Chile. The image uses near infrared light that was scattered of the dust particles ...

Strange discovery offers 'missing link' in planet formation: 'This fundamentally changes how we think about planetary systems'
A decade of observations of four planets around the young planetary system V1298 Tau revealed a rare, long-sought missing ...
A view of HOPS-315, a baby star some 1,400 light-years from Earth where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. Combined with data from the James Webb Space ...
Hit-and-run collisions between embryonic planets during a critical period in the early history of the Solar System may account for some previously unexplained properties of planets, asteroids, and ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a precious peek into the dawn of our own solar system.
Artist's impression of a massive star-forming region in the NGC 6357 nebula, with the planet-forming disk XUE1 in the foreground. The region is drenched in intense ultraviolet light from massive stars ...
