Astronomers have uncovered the most promising evidence yet for the existence of dark stars—giant cosmic objects powered by dark matter, rather than the fusion processes typically seen in stars. These ...

LHS 1903 flips rock and gas on their heads, hinting that late-born planets can rewrite the rules around common red dwarfs for now.

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 ...

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and ...

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.
