Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Astronomers have found a rocky planet where it should not exist, orbiting far from a cool red star. Could this strange ...

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

In green finance, Islamic fintech allows crowdfunding, asset tokenisation (turning real assets into digital currency), and ...

For decades, scientists have believed that planetary systems typically form with rocky planets close to their star and gas-rich planets farther away. This discovery questions their knowledge.

The discovery provides new insights into the question, 'how large can a planet be?' An illustration of the HR 8799 system with three of its gas ...

Artist impression of the planetary system with four planets,around a small red star,called LHS1903. Caption: Astronomers have long thought solar systems follow a simple pattern similar to our own: ...

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

Despite strong interest, shared solar programs face regulatory, utility, and economic barriers that limit expansion.

LHS 1903 flips rock and gas on their heads, hinting that late-born planets can rewrite the rules around common red dwarfs for now.
