It has been six years since astronomers found strong evidence that a mysterious ninth planet might exist at the far reaches of our solar system .
Experts say Planet Nine could be surrounded by up to 20 hot moons measuring around 62 miles (100 kilometre)-wide, which could be the key to confirming the mysterious world's existence.
Astronomers spot Jupiter-like hidden planet outside our Solar System | Science-Environment
Astronomers, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, have detected a Jupiter-like planet that orbits the star AF Leporis.
Planets orbit around their host stars and the gravitational pull they exert on the star causes the star to move slightly in response.
Hidden lights on the sun could help crack solar atmosphere mystery | Space
New X-ray observations of the sun could help crack the mystery of the star's inexplicably hot outer atmosphere, the corona.
The sun is an unmistakable and unmissable feature in the sky over Earth , bathing our planet with light. Yet, not all of this light is visible to our eyes, which see only a relatively narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum .
Scientists eye mission to Uranus: an alien world where the darkness of winter lasts 21 years | ...
The scientific community agrees that the largest space exploration mission of the decade must begin now. And scientists opine that the destination should be Uranus – the strangest and most unknown planet in the solar system .
Most of what we know about this world – which is four times the size of Earth – comes from photos taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which passed the planet on its way to the fringes of the solar system more than 30 years ago.
How did Saturn get its rings? | National Geographic
Without its rings, Saturn looks really boring. Super blah. Erase those bangles—as blogger Jason Kottke did (above) from a NASA photo—and the planet is the blandest sphere in our solar system.
Thankfully, at some point in the past 4.5 billion years, the cosmos gave Earth's neighbourhood an upgrade: It put a big, bright, icy ring system around Saturn. But scientists don't agree on when Saturn's rings formed—or how the bangles even came to be. And that's been true for decades.
