This results in a composition that is “unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent.” “These new Hubble images show that planet nurseries can be much more active and chaotic than we expected,” Kristina Monsch, ...

A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. A new study strengthens the case for Enceladus being a habitable world.

Scientists using the James Webb telescope observed a distant exoplanet with an atmosphere of soot and diamonds, challenging all explanations.

"Hubble has given us a front row seat to the chaotic processes that are shaping disks as they build new planets — processes ...

A disk 40 times the diameter of our solar system has been discovered by the Hubble Telescope, which is likely an image of ...

Astronomers discovered a new moon of Uranus and hundreds of moons around Saturn over the past year, and there may be many ...

However, the mechanism that has been thought to explain how that stardust disperses has now been shown to be flawed, and the team that made the discovery doesn’t have a coherent alternative to offer ...

When the solar system began to form, everything was chaos. A slew of rocky material was smashing together in a maelstrom that ...

Two rare cosmic collisions around the young star Fomalhaut were caught by space telescopes, offering new clues about how planets form.

ESA's advanced XMM-Newton telescope discovered a faint X-ray glow from the 3I/ATLAS comet. What is this mysterious light it ...

For only the second time ever, a collision between two asteroids has been observed around an alien star not too far beyond ...

Hubble Space Telescope data reveal that two large collisions near the star Fomalhaut created dust clouds once mistaken for a planet, helping scientists better understand how planetary systems form ...
