WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star. The star is only about a fifth the mass of the sun.

Ancient Greek astronomers likely observed Uranus as a star, but limited tools and geocentric views kept them from recognizing ...

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

Most of the stars across the Milky Way are small red dwarfs like TOI-6894, which has only 20% the mass of our Sun ...

A small red dwarf star, TOI-6894, is defying astronomers' expectations by having a gas giant planet in its orbit.

With its low density and unusually cool, methane-rich atmosphere, this planet offers a rare window into giant planet formation around small stars.

Thanks to the powerful vision of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have just confirmed something truly ...

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 ...
