In a stellar nursery 460 light-years away, astronomers sharpened old ALMA data and spotted crisp rings and spirals swirling ...

Zooming in on 78 disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming region, scientists saw hitherto undiscovered structures around young ...

Identifying the formation period of planetary systems, such as our solar system, could be the beginning of the journey to ...

Young planets are often too small to be detected directly, and many protoplanetary disks are too distant to be observed in detail. Instead, astronomers look for indirect evidence, such as rings, gaps, ...

The Hubble Space Telescope searches the universe to understand how planets, stars, and galaxies form. Recently, it captured ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense ...

Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array has detected methanol isotopes around a nearby star, which could help ...

TOI-6894 b, the largest exoplanet relative to its host star yet seen, doesn’t fit the most widely accepted formation model ...

F rom the very beginning, JWST was shown to be a revolutionary instrument for the study of exoplanets, detecting intriguing ...

For the first time in its four-year operational history, the James Webb Space Telescope has identified an exoplanet not ...

Most disks observed were about 30 astronomical units wide, roughly 30 times the Earth-Sun distance. The presence of intricate structures in such early systems implies a parallel evolution of infant ...
