Dating to only a billion years after the big bang, JADES-ID1 may be the earliest, most distant galaxy protocluster astronomers have ever seen ...

Why is it so rare to find exoplanets orbiting two stars, also called circumbinary planets (CBPs)? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysica | Space ...

V1298 Tau links swollen young worlds to the compact planets that astronomers keep finding, and its timing signals made that connection measurable. Future transit-timing and atmospheric observations ...

A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four ...

Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the origins of the chemistry of life.

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

Now, using the world's largest radio telescope project, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ( ALMA ), ...

Some 350 light-years away, the V1298 Tau system features an infant sun-like star, just 23 million years old, orbited by four ...

Billions of years ago when planets formed in our solar system, leftover debris remained, orbiting between the planets in flattened disks made of bits of ice and rock. New research on these debris ...

A decade of observations of four planets around the young planetary system V1298 Tau revealed a rare, long-sought missing link in planet formation.
