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

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

Scientists say a nearby red dwarf star hosts a planetary lineup that looks like a mirror image of our own solar system, with ...

Artist impression of the planetary system with four planets,around a small red star,called LHS1903. Caption: Astronomers have long thought solar systems follow a simple pattern similar to our own: ...

Astronomers have discovered a surprising planetary system that does not follow the usual rules of how planets form. The ...

Astronomers have spotted an unusual 'inside-out' planetary system where a rocky world seems to have formed far beyond the realm typically reserved for gas giants.

Scientists have discovered something that they previously thought wasn’t possible – an ‘inside out’ star system. When you line all the planets in our solar system up, the four closest to the sun are ...

For decades, scientists have believed that planetary systems typically form with rocky planets close to their star and gas-rich planets farther away. This discovery questions their knowledge.

A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...

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