In the crowded early Solar System, young planets frequently collided and reshaped each other. But Mercury stood out. It formed unusually close to the Sun. Mercury’s days are longer than its years. It ...
York University planetary scientist Dr. Charles-Édouard Boukaré discusses molten rocky exoplanets: rocky planets so close to ...
An international team of astronomers, co-led by researchers at the University of Galway, has made the unexpected discovery of a new planet. Detected at an early stage of formation around a young ...
A new peer-reviewed study finds that early planet formations were assembled from fragments of earlier bodies within the Solar System.
miHoYo has announced Petit Planet, a cosmic life simulation game for PC and mobile, with addition platforms currently in development. Recruitment for the “Coziness Test,” which will run across PC and ...
Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...
The early years of our solar system were a period of unimaginable chaos and violence, a gravitational free-for-all where colliding planetary embryos competed for survival. In this tumultuous ...
