By Will Dunham WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Astronomers have observed a planetary system that challenges current planet formation theories, with a rocky planet that formed beyond the orbits of its ...
Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...
Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...
A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...
A rocky exoplanet in the LHS 1903 system defies planet formation models, hinting that gravitational upheaval reshaped the red dwarf’s four worlds.
An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form.
A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...
A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover a planetary system that turns our understanding of planet formation upside ...
Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...

Scientists have found a weird 'inside out' planetary system. Here's what it looks like
Astronomers have discovered a planetary system that appears to flip one of astronomy's most reliable rules on its head.
Astronomers say a newly discovered solar system about 116 light years from Earth is challenging long held ideas about how planets form.According to CNN, researchers using telescopes from NASA ...

Weird inside-out planet system may have formed one world at a time
The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than the familiar one by which most systems grow ...
