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

Astronomers have found that planet mass is about 17% of the mass of Jupiter, or about 53 times the mass of the Earth. The ...

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 ...
