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

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a ...

'LHS 1903 breaks this thinking.' ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

Astronomers have found a distant world that challenges planetary formation theory, with a rocky planet where gas giants should be.

Artist impression of the planetary system with four planets,around a small red star,called LHS1903. Caption: Astronomers have long thought solar systems follow a simple pattern similar to our own: ...

Astronomers have discovered a surprising planetary system that does not follow the usual rules of how planets form. The ...

Astronomers have spotted an unusual 'inside-out' planetary system where a rocky world seems to have formed far beyond the realm typically reserved for gas giants.

For decades, scientists have believed that planetary systems typically form with rocky planets close to their star and gas-rich planets farther away. This discovery questions their knowledge.

A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...
