'Forbidden Planet' The Size Of Jupiter That Shouldn't Exist In Theory Baffles Scientists
TOI 5205b is called a 'forbidden planet' as it defies current astronomical theories about planetary formation.

Brown Dwarf Merger Could Create a New Star, Astronomers Discover
Astronomers have discovered a rare brown dwarf binary system undergoing mass transfer with an ultra-short orbit. The pair could either merge or gain enough mass to ignite fusion, potentially forming a new star and redefining how “failed stars” evolve.

Astronomers Discover "Inside-Out" Planetary System With Rocky World Beyond Gas Planets, Challenging Formation Theories
Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

Astronomers Find Planet Close To Solar System With Earth-Like Size And Orbit
Researchers estimate that the planet has about a 50% chance of being in its star's Hoble zone.

Astronomers Discover Massive Metal Cloud Orbiting Unknown Planet
Analysis of the wind speed and direction revealed that the cloud is moving at a different speed from its host star, confirming that it is bound to an external secondary object.

Scientists Discover 'Potentially Habitable' Earth-Like Planet Candidate
If confirmed, this exoplanet would be the only known rocky world in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.

Kepler Data Reveals Earth-Size Exoplanet on the Edge of Its Star’s Habitable Zone
Scientists studying Kepler telescope data have identified HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star. While the planet follows a year-long orbit and may sit near the habitable zone, limited starlight could leave it colder than Mars. Future observations will determine whether this icy world truly exists.

Scientists Discover "Iron Bar" In Space That May Reveal Earth's Future
The team said they plan to do further studies to find out what exactly this iron bar is, where it came from and what it indicates

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

NASA Spots Starquakes in a Red Giant Orbiting One of the Galaxy’s Quietest Black Holes
A red giant star orbiting a quiet black hole spins faster than expected, while internal vibrations reveal it is younger than its ancient chemistry suggests. These findings hint at a past stellar merger and challenge existing models of star evolution in low-metal environments. Future observations aim to confirm its complex cosmic history.
