Scientists turn to AI and use lenses to find free-floating planetary masses - Florida News Times
This figure shows that only planets like Jupiter are free to float in the darkness of the universe without a parent star.
Most exoplanets discovered so far have been discovered to cause a slight dip in the observed light of the host star as it passes through the circumstellar disc from our point of view. These events are called transits.
New measurement method promises spectacular insights into the interior of planets -- ScienceDaily
At the heart of planets, extreme states are to be found: temperatures of thousands of degrees, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric pressure.
But what are the chemical properties of this warm dense matter really like? Up to now, existing methods have only produced unsatisfactory answers to this question.
Space rocks may have bounced off baby Earth, but slammed into Venus | Science News
Simulations suggest that space rocks the size of baby planets struck both the newborn Earth and Venus, but many of the rocks that only grazed Earth went on to hit — and stick — to Venus.
"The pronounced differences between Earth and Venus, in spite of their similar orbits and masses, has been one of the biggest puzzles in our solar system," says planetary scientist Shigeru Ida of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the new work.
'Hit and runs' likely formed inner solar system planets - Futurity
"We find that most giant impacts, even relatively 'slow' ones, are hit-and-runs. This means that for two planets to merge, you usually first have to slow them down in a hit-and-run collision," says Erik Asphaug. (Credit: Jenny Kaczorowski/Flickr )
Planet formation—the process by which neat, round, distinct planets form from a roiling, swirling cloud of rugged asteroids and mini planets—was likely even messier and more complicated than most scientists would care to admit, according to new research.
Star Wars: 10 Planets That Would Be Perfect For Open World Video Games
The Star Wars galaxy is home to plenty of incredibly diverse planets, with each location offering up something unique for audiences to explore. While plenty has been seen in video games in the past, it's rare to get an open-world title that focuses entirely on a single planet.
