Exoplanetary systems are a puzzle to astronomers. Data from the Kepler Space Telescope—the discoverer of the first big tranche of exoplanets—found that in many planetary systems the planets tend to resemble their neighbors.
A new architecture framework allows researchers to study an entire planetary system at the systems ... [+] level.
Pair of gas giants like Jupiter and Neptune found orbiting a Sun-like star; Know more | Space
Planet-like celestial bodies were discovered orbiting around a star similar to the sun. According to Sciencealert.com, the pair of gas giants was found orbiting just 175 light years away. While one object was about half the mass of Jupiter, the other one is nearly 2.5 times the mass of Neptune.
Stars Can Eat Their Planets...and Spit Them Back Out Again - Universe Today
As tragic as it is, engulfment of a planetary object by its stellar parent is a common scenario throughout the universe. But it doesn’t have to end in doom.
Models of the formation of planetary systems have shown that many planets often end up being consumed by their parent star. It’s simply a matter of orbital dynamics.
Marauding Moons Spell Disaster for Some Planets - Eos
Roughly half of all stars have planets orbiting them, scientists currently believe. And surely many have moons, too, if our own solar system is any indication (only Mercury and Venus lack them).
Astronomers think that solar systems are born from spinning clouds of gas and dust. Over time, that primordial material coalesces into larger bodies, which go on to collide with one another, forming planets and moons.
