ALMA maps gas, dust, and a sulfur monoxide arc in Gomez’s Hamburger, revealing possible giant-planet formation alongside an ...

The side-on perspective is valuable because it gives scientists a clear, cross-sectional look at a planetary nursery.

Do cosmic hamburgers hold the secret ingredients. . .for planets? This one sure does! Astronomers using the Atacama Large ...

The fundamental building blocks for planet formation can exist even in environments with extreme ultraviolet radiation, according to a new study by an international collaboration led by Penn State ...

(No formulas! The mystery of becoming giant despite a lack of material? Why is it lighter than water and cold despite being ...

We present a comprehensive openly accessible repository of Judd-Ofelt (JO) spectroscopic parameters for rare-earth-doped materials, derived from a systematic compilation of data sourced from ...

The astro-modified camera used to take this photo lets in the hydrogen alpha light that is normally filtered out. This modification makes the camera more sensitive to the red end of the ...

Researchers have developed a new model to explain the formation of giant planets such as Jupiter, which furnishes deeper insights into the processes of planet formation and could expand our ...

A new experimental study published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta reveals that Mercury’s sulfur-rich interior behaves in ways that challenge long-standing Earth-based models of planetary evolution ...

Astronomers have gotten very good at spotting the signs of planet formation around stars. But for a complete understanding of planet formation, we also need to study examples where planet formation ...

Solving the mystery of how planets like Earth were formed is an important question for understanding the origin of life. Planets are thought to form when interstellar dust and gas collect in a ...
