How interstellar objects similar to 3I/ATLAS could jumpstart planet formation around infant stars
Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have ...
More than a year after NASA's New Horizons mission closely flew by a small, distant Kuiper Belt Object, researchers have been able to sift through the data and learn intriguing new details about this ...
The first picture of a planet outside our solar system may actually depict a swirl of space dust, a new study suggests.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this long-wavelength color composite image of the Orion Nebula using its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument. NASA, ESA, CSA / Science leads and image ...
It's extremely difficult to think about something so large that it's impossible to properly estimate anything about it. Yet so is the Universe that holds us, a place so big an eternity would probably ...
The future of the planet may not be the most comfortable of subjects to think about — from the threat of climate change to worry about world wars — but for astronomers, it's something to consider when ...
