"A planet orbiting not just a binary, but a binary brown dwarf, as well as being on a polar orbit, is rather incredible and ...

Astronomers believe a Tatooine-like planet may be orbiting two brown dwarfs—so-called failed stars—about 120 light years from ...

A new Tatooine-like planet outside the solar system may orbit two failed stars, scientists reported Wednesday. Located about ...

Almost 10 years ago, a NASA spacecraft was able to take several photos of Pluto, known for decades as a planet before it was ...

Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered a truly bizarre planet — one that orbits two stars at a perfect ...

Astronomers have discovered a planet that orbits at a 90-degree angle around a rare pair of strange stars—a real-life 'twist' ...

"Polar orbit" means that instead of orbiting in the same plane as where the two stellar objects are located, the planet’s orbit is 90 degrees to that plane, as you can see in the image above. This ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

Experts spotted a new, young planet with a strange behavior orbiting a dwarf star. It is 10 times bigger than the Earth and ...

A distant planet's atmosphere shows signs of molecules that on Earth are associated only with biological activity, a possible signal of life on what is suspected to be a watery world, according to a ...

We are already familiar with exoplanets orbiting two stars. But 2M1510 (AB) b is a novelty: its orbit is perpendicular to that of its stars.

Pluto was once called the ninth planet, but in 2006, scientists changed its status to a dwarf planet. A planet must clear its orbit of other objects, but Pluto shares its space with many small icy ...
