A planet 140 light-years from Earth is rapidly coming apart due to its close proximity to its star. The roasting planet is ...

There are roughly 1.1 million debris fragments larger than 0.04 inches and about 40,500 fragments larger than 4 inches in orbit according to the ESA. NASA states that debris can reach speeds of 18,000 ...

We've deployed so many satellites into space over the last few decades that we now have a massive orbital junk problem. The ...

Here’s a little spoiler for next month’s Cosmic Calendar: early May will see the return of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The ...

A blockchain entrepreneur, a cinematographer, a polar adventurer and a robotics researcher plan to fly around Earth’s poles ...

Further studies are needed to determine whether K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away, is inhabited, or even ...

The two brown dwarfs are gravitationally bound and orbit near to each other - as close as just 4% of the distance between Earth and the sun. The planet, named 2M1510 (AB) b, orbits around this pair.

A new AI model from the University of Bern predicts planetary systems likely to host Earth-like planets. It could boost the ...

The planet, named 2M1510 (AB) b, orbits around this pair. Another brown dwarf is present in this system, but is too far away — about 250 times the distance between Earth and the sun — for its ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

The two brown dwarfs are gravitationally bound and orbit near to each other - as close as just 4% of the distance between Earth and the sun. The planet, named 2M1510 (AB) b, orbits around this pair.

The brown dwarfs produce eclipses of one another, as seen from Earth, making them part of ... "We had hints that planets on perpendicular orbits around binary stars could exist, but until now ...
