Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star.

Astronomers have been left puzzled by the discovery of an unusually large planet orbiting a remarkably small star, a cosmic ...

The discovery defies current understanding of how planets form. The star is only about a fifth the mass of the sun. Stars this size should host small planets akin to Earth and Mars under the leading ...

Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely ...

It had not been thought possible that such tiny, weak stars could provide the conditions needed to form and host huge planets.

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 ...

A possible new dwarf planet has been discovered at the edge of our solar system, so far-flung that it takes around 25,000 ...

A giant conundrum has been found orbiting a teeny tiny red dwarf star just a fifth of the size of the Sun. Such small stars were thought to be incapable of producing giant planets. But there, in its ...

The telescopes at Lick may be vintage, but scientists at the observatory continue to discover new planets and examine ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive gas giant, TOI-6894b, orbiting the red dwarf star TOI-6894, a pairing that defies ...

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it.
