Astronomers expected to find hundreds of planets orbiting binary stars, but only 14 have been confirmed. New research indicates that general relativity destabilizes many of these planets, especially ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by a cosmic mystery: planets orbiting two stars—like Star Wars’ Tatooine—are surprisingly rare, even though they should be common. New research suggests the culprit ...

Researchers have observed the fallout from a planetary collision 11,000 light years from Earth. When worlds collide…suns act squirrely. Astronomers have witnessed a rare and violent cosmic crash ...

Two Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1 are locked in permanent day and night, with heat differences suggesting they are ...

A researcher discovered the rare cosmic event by noticing strange dips in a star's brightness in old telescope data. The collision created a hot cloud of rocks and dust, which researchers detected ...

An international team including the University of Bern (UNIBE) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), members of the National Center of Competence in Research PlanetS, has succeeded in mapping the ...

Two planets crashed into one another in a violent, chaotic collision that astronomers recently witnessed 11,000 light-years away from Earth. The rare cosmic event is not one scientists get to see ...
