Astronomers have captured a rare glimpse inside HOPS-315, a young star that appears to sit at the center of a nascent version of our own solar system.

NASA has discovered a new Super Earth, TOI‑1846 b, 154 light-years away, sending out a repeating signal. The planet is twice as wide and four times heavier than Earth.

In 2003, NASA-funded researchers spotted what was then the most distant object discovered in our Solar System. The dwarf planet, named Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the sea, was found over 12.9 ...

NASA has found a new “Super Earth” planet just 154 light-years away that’s sending out a strange, repeating signal. The planet, named TOI‑1846 b, is about twice as wide as Earth and around four times ...
