The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first direct measurements of the chemical and physical ...

The comet, named 3I/ATLAS, is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever seen in our solar system. That means it came ...

Higher-mass stars are more efficient in capturing interstellar objects in their discs,” said Susanne Pfalzner. “Therefore, interstellar object-seeded planet formation should be more efficient around ...

This striking view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and turbulent southern hemisphere was captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft as it performed a close pass of the gas giant planet. Our solar system contains ...

Astronomers have discovered strong evidence for a giant gas planet in a nearby solar system – with moons that could be habitable. The planet was first detected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) ...

Astronomers were fascinated after spotting an object from interstellar space hurtling through the solar system earlier this ...

Astronomers have long struggled to find young planets hidden inside the thick clouds of gas and dust that swirl around new stars. These swirling clouds—called protoplanetary discs—are the birthplaces ...

Exoplanets aren't the only objects floating around other stars—they likely have comets and asteroids as well. Even some of ...

Artwork depicting the exoplanet TOI-6894b around a red dwarf star. This planet is unusual because, given the size/mass of the planet relative to the very low mass of the star, this planet should not ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been studying the scene of a dramatic collision between a star and its planet, but whereas astronomers had originally thought that the star was a red giant ...
