Researchers are studying eccentric warm Jupiters, giant exoplanets that follow odd, elongated orbits unlike anything in our solar system.
Planets do not emit visible light like stars; they shine in the sky because they reflect sunlight. Exoplanets too reflect starlight, and nobody does it better than LTT9779b. This world reflects 80 ...
If you think you've met the wildest exoplanet yet, you haven't learned about TOI-4507 b. This strange world breaks almost ...
Astronomers are investigating a strange class of exoplanets known as eccentric warm Jupiters — massive gas giants that orbit ...
Pluto's unusual eccentricity and tilt is likely due to its interactions with neighboring Neptune and other giant planets, ...
Our Solar System contains eight planets (sorry, Pluto) orbiting around the Sun. But while all planets are important members of the club, if we’re being honest, we know there’s a crown jewel of our ...
A mysterious "rogue" planet has been observed gobbling six billion tons of gas and dust a second—an unprecedented rate that blurs the line between planets and stars, astronomers said Thursday. Unlike ...
A strange 200 million-year-old object with the mass of a planet has been discovered 20 light-years from Earth, outside our solar system. The "rogue," as it's referred to by researchers, is producing ...
