The planetary odd couple of a mini-Neptune and hot Jupiter probably formed out beyond its star’s “frostline,” in the colder region of the system’s early protoplanetary disk. Across the Milky Way ...

Astronomers using radio telescope observations to get an inside look at an interstellar comet have gleaned new insights into when and where the celestial object formed. The comet, named 3I/ATLAS, ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS has much more "heavy" water than comets that formed in the solar system, according to a new study. Hans Anderson, Michigan News Our time with our interstellar visitor, comet 3I/ATLAS, ...

Architecture has traditionally been described as a discipline concerned with space, form, and material presence. Yet this understanding becomes increasingly limited when confronted with the conditions ...

As 3I/ATLAS passes near the sun, methanol gas glows blue, mixed with icy dust grains, while the far side of the comet glows orange with hydrogen cyanide in this artist's rendering. Credit: NSF / AUI / ...

The radius gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes Mass measurements using transit timing variations (TTVs) N-body simulations to model orbital dynamics and stability Atmospheric loss via ...

Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at ...
