New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.

"This strange disorder makes it a unique inside-out system," study lead author Thomas Wilson, physics professor from the University of Warwick, said in a statement. "Rocky planets don't usually form ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...

Kepler-22b is one of the most famous exoplanets ever discovered, a super-Earth sitting in the habitable zone of its star, 600 light-years away. But what would actually happen if humanity somehow ...

Stargazers, get ready for a celestial show! A planetary alignment featuring six planets will be visible in late February and ...

The candidate is coined HD 137010 b. It would orbit a K-type dwarf star approximately 146 light-years from Earth. The evidence comes from a single transit pattern seen in K2 data from 2017: the star ...

The combustible sedimentary rock, better known as coal, was not only crucial to the onset of advanced technology here on Earth, but it should also be key to the development of advanced E.T.s residing ...

Lead author Dr Craig Walton, of ETH Zurich, told the Daily Mail: 'You could feasibly have a planet that looks great with ...

SIGNS of an alien planet that’s about the same size as Earth have been picked by up a Nasa telescope. Scientists say it might even be within its host star’s “habitable ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a possible rocky exoplanet named HD 137010b, located 146 light-years away. Dubbed the 'cold Earth', this candidate world orbits a K-type ...
