Discovered in 2013, the Pink Planet orbits a sun-like star located 57 light-years from Earth. At roughly 25 times the mass of ...

The "Pink Planet," formally known as GJ504b, was discovered in 2013 and is technically not a planet but rather a ...

A study published in Science Advances sheds new light on the mysterious origins of free-floating planetary-mass objects (PMOs)—celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets. Led by Dr. Deng ...

A giant planet circling a dead star should not be there. That was the puzzle hanging over WD 1856 b ever since astronomers ...

There is an object flying through space about 20 light-years from Earth that has intrigued astronomers for quite a while. It was first spotted back in 2006 and has been analyzed using a variety of ...

So, to determine if the Pink Planet is truly a planet, scientists need to characterize the isotopes in its atmosphere to ...

GJ 504 b has been one of astronomy’s stranger nearby worlds for years, a faint pink companion circling a sunlike star 57 ...

How do rogue planetary-mass objects -- celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets -- form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic ...

When a star is young, it is often still surrounded by a primordial rotating disk of gas and dust, from which planets can form. Astronomers like to find such disks because they might be able to catch ...

The cast of exoplanets has an extraordinary new member. Using ESO’s telescopes, astronomers have discovered an approximately seven- Jupiter-mass companion to an object that is itself only twice as ...
