Scientists' best explanation for how planets form is called the core accretion theory. The birth of a planetary system begins ...

A small red dwarf star is challenging our knowledge of how planets form by coexisting with a massive exoplanet, much like a ...

Astronomers have discovered an unusually large exoplanet orbiting the small star TOI-6894, located 240 light-years away in ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive gas planet orbiting a tiny red dwarf star, TOI-6894, challenging long-held beliefs ...

Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star.

The host star, TOI-6894, is a red dwarf with only 20% the mass of the Sun, typical of the most common stars in our galaxy.

Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely ...

As a result of the International Astronomical Union’s 2006 demotion of Pluto from planet to dwarf planet, our solar system ...

Astronomers discover giant gas planet TOI-6894b orbiting a tiny red dwarf, rewriting what we know about planet formation.

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it.

Astronomers have discovered a massive gas giant, TOI-6894b, orbiting the red dwarf star TOI-6894, a pairing that defies ...

It had not been thought possible that such tiny, weak stars could provide the conditions needed to form and host huge planets.
