"If we don't find much of this dust around a particular star, that means future missions will be able to see potential planets relatively easily," said Ewan Douglas, an assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Arizona in Tucson and the lead author of a paper describing the results.
The Buzz About Weather on Other Planets: WASP 127-b – Now. Powered by Northrop Grumman
Far inside the habitable zone, 520 light-years from Earth, a strange planet whips around its parent star. WASP 127-b makes a bee-line from one side to the other in four days. Yet this wanderer is no winged Mercury. It’s not small or rocky.
The existence of undiscovered and alien planets hold potential for new discoveries in space and science, including a look into weather on other planets. WASP 127-b is a gas giant, like Jupiter or Saturn.
New planets could begin to form around binary star system, astronomers say
This illustration shows a hypothetical planet covered in water around the binary star system of Kepler-35A and B.
Astronomers that have been studying a binary star system — one with two baby suns — for over 30 years now believe three separate solar systems are starting to form around them.

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a planet? Nope, just a star -- ScienceDaily
The first worlds beyond our solar system were discovered three decades ago. Since then, close to 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed in our galaxy. Astronomers have detected another 5,000 planetary candidates -- objects that might be planets but have yet to be confirmed.
In a study appearing in the Astronomical Journal , MIT astronomers report that three, and potentially four, planets that were originally discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope are in fact misclassified. Instead, these suspected planets are likely small stars.
Knights of the Old Republic Remake's Biggest Improvement Would Be Its Planets
Almost a decade after its release, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still widely considered to be the best Star Wars game ever made.
For years, fans have asked for a Knights of the Old Republic remake that would bring modern visuals and gameplay mechanics to the already-excellent game, and in September 2021, fans would receive the announcement they'd been hoping for.
The Worm Moon will shine before dawn Friday. It's the last full moon of winter 2022. | Space
The full moon of March will reach its peak Friday (March 18), just two days before the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is, therefore, no surprise that many of the traditional names associated with the March moon have to do with springtime and the infamous storms of March.
