If a real Captain Kirk ever blasts off for other stars in search of rocky planets like ours, he may find lots of strange new worlds whose innards actually bear no resemblance to Earth's.
A smattering of heavy elements sprinkled on 23 white dwarf stars suggests that most of the rocky planets that once orbited the stars had unusual chemical makeups , researchers report online November 2 in Nature Communications .

Forming planets are one possible explanation for the rings and gaps observed in disks of gas and dust around young stars. But this theory has trouble explaining why it is rare to find planets associated with rings.
Young stars are encircled by protoplanetary disks of gas and dust. One of the world's most powerful radio telescope arrays, ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), has observed a variety of patterns of denser and less dense rings and gaps in these protoplanetary disks.

A new technique developed in part by University of Hawaiʻi astronomer Nader Haghighipour has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two suns.
Astronomers May Have Discovered a Planet in Another Galaxy
Astronomers detected the temporary dimming of X-rays from a system where a massive star is in orbit around a neutron star or black hole (shown in the artist’s illustration).
Spotting a planet in another galaxy is hard, and even though astronomers know that they should exist, no planetary systems outside of the Milky Way have been confirmed so far.
Understanding a birth chart in astrology and how to read one
Your curiosity got the best of you — and you've taken the plunge to explore what everyone keeps talking about: that elusive thing called the astrology birth chart.
Also referred to as a natal chart , looking this up can be a wildly eye-opening experience. As much as some people think astrology is just a fad, it's not, bro — astrology has been around for thousands of years and impacted all of the major civilizations worldwide.
Results & Update: The planets are taking a few days off
11/12 Recap: The S&P opened with a 6 handle gap up and then traded another 8 handles higher, for an opening minute high. From that high,
The S&P declined 12 handles into a 9:39 AM low of the day. From that low, the S&P traded in a 7 handle trading range, culminating with a low at 10:34 AM. From that low, the S&P rallied 32 handles into a 12:01 PM high.
Bad Astronomy | Asteroid impacts on the Moon may have come from Earth's formation | SYFY WIRE
There's a popular hypothesis among planetary scientists that, very early in our solar system's history, the migration of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn threw a huge wave of giant asteroids into the inner solar system.
This impact wave, called the Late Heavy Bombardment (or LHB) is fairly well established. But a new paper just published by a pair of planetary scientists throws doubt on the idea that it was caused by the outer planets.
