A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

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

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

Astronomers have found a rocky planet where it should not exist, orbiting far from a cool red star. Could this strange ...

Long-period comets originate from a region so distant it remains largely theoretical. This exploration dives into the concept ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

Astronomers found a strange planetary system 116 light-years away. It orbits a red dwarf star called LHS 1903. The planets are arranged in an unexpected order. The outermost planet is rocky, which ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...

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

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

Since the 1990s, astronomers have found a handful of other dwarf planets in the belt, such as Eris and Sedna, along with ...
