Long before humans walked the Earth, your solar system had a brush with two blazing blue stars that passed surprisingly close ...

Around the bright star Fomalhaut, astronomers spotted glowing clouds of debris left behind by colossal collisions between ...

The study of dust dynamics in the solar system encompasses the investigation of the origins, transport, and interactions of micrometre‐ and nanometre‐scaled particles within the complex heliospheric ...

What seemed like new planets around Fomalhaut were actually expanding dust clouds from violent planetary collisions seen by Hubble.

While surveying distant worlds beyond our solar system, researchers unexpectedly obtained the first direct images showing ...

Two rare cosmic collisions around the young star Fomalhaut were caught by space telescopes, offering new clues about how planets form.

In the swirling clouds of gas and dust that surround newborn stars, planets begin to form. These planet-forming disks are rich with clues about how worlds like Earth come to be. Until now, scientists ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured infant planets colliding around Fomalhaut, one of the brightest stars in the night ...

It leads off with a statistic that sounds almost trivial but masks a profoundly puzzling problem: interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ...

A giant object that has been lurking in the relative galactic vicinity of the Solar System this entire time has just been unmasked in all its enormous, invisible glory. Just 300 light-years away, at ...

The Sun's formation caused temperature differences in the surrounding disk of gas and dust. Inner, hotter regions formed rocky planets from less volatile elements. Outer, colder regions allowed ...
