An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit ...
All seven of the other planets in our solar system are about to become visible at once in a great planetary alignment – here’s how to spot the celestial show ...
A new study in astrophysics has found why some planets’ paths have certain peculiar features. The formation of the solar ...
The planets in our solar system orbit the sun essentially along a line across the sky in a plane called the ecliptic. For that reason, planets in our Earthly sky always appear somewhere along a ...
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a planet so extraordinary it has defied all existing ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy in just three years. A new project celebrates its impact on the ...
A planet-sized visitor possibly visited the solar system billions of years ago and permanently changed the cosmic neighbourhood by warping the orbital path of four outer planets of the system, a ...
Astronomers discovered the exoplanet in 2016, a gas giant that’s slightly larger than Jupiter with a fraction of its mass, ...
An asteroid that orbited near Earth for a few months as a mini-moon may be a chunk of the moon that was blasted off by an impact thousands of years ago.
Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet. Reaching speeds ...
Because many close-matching simulations had the planet-like object swooping through the inner solar system, the researchers created an additional 10,000 simulations including the terrestrial ...
Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet. Reaching speeds up to 33,000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jet-stream of its kind ever ...
