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 ...

The research and the naming of the object remains theoretical, for a synestia has never been observed. What has been put forwards is based on a model: here a synestia is composed of two parts. The ...

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 ...

The universe is a slow-changing place. While it's mostly true that the heavens and the deep-sky objects in it will look largely the same across an average human lifetime, there are dramatic examples ...

Rogue planets live by their own rules, freely floating through the cosmos without being bound to a star. With no stellar supervision, those isolated planetary bodies can often behave in unusual ways.

Humanity has long wondered if we are being watched from the stars, but the answer might lie in our own exhaust fumes. As the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS moves through the inner Solar System, ...

The Universe still holds many surprises, as demonstrated by this exceptional observation of a dying star devouring the remains of its own planetary system. This phenomenon, captured by some of the ...
