Hubble has revealed a giant planet-forming disk unlike anything astronomers have seen before. Nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” the enormous structure appears turbulent and oddly lopsided, with towering ...
Astronomers don’t have to work hard to find binary stars in the Milky Way. They’re common, even abundant. For a long time, ...
This work introduces a statistical framework to obtain Bayesian constraints on planet formation parameters, which offers a probabilistic interpretation of uncertainties and degeneracies contained ...
This month's NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month offers us a two-for-one on brand new stars—with some potential planets thrown in as well. This visual highlights Webb's views ...
A vertical dark band cutting through a bright nebula marks the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star IRAS 04302+2247. Observations of such disks will help astronomers understand how small ...
Astronomers have found a planet-forming disk that looks like a solar system on steroids. New images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have revealed an enormous, oddly shaped disk of gas and dust ...
Roughly 1,000 light-years away from Earth, a gigantic disk of gas and dust is swirling around a young star and giving rise to new planets. Not only is it the largest planet-forming disk astronomers ...

When you see art of our solar system as the planet orbit the sun, you may notice that Earth's orbit has a tilt. It is not a perfect circle. What's more, Earth is not the only planet that displays such ...
The Austin Independent School District's budget proposal released Tuesday detailed a plan to reduce planning time for some teachers and increase teacher-student ratios on certain campuses. The plan ...
