Scientists Trace Rare Cosmic Outburst to a Massive Planetary Collision Around Gaia20ehk
Astronomers have reported evidence of two planets colliding around a distant Sun-like star, Gaia20ehk, located about 11,000 light-years away. The star's light output remained steady until 2016, when it exhibited three minor dimming events; by 2021, the light curve reportedly "went completely bonkers." Follow-up infrared observations revealed a burs...

NASA Shares Image Of Young Sun-Like Star Blowing Giant Space Bubble
Due to its young age, the particle winds emanating from HD 61005's surface are much more powerful.

Chandra Detects Giant X-Ray Bubble Around Young Sun-Like Star HD 61005
NASA astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered a vast, million-degree gas bubble surrounding HD 61005, a 100-million-year-old Sun-like star about 120 light-years away. Its stellar wind is far stronger than today’s solar wind, forming a 200 astronomical unit-wide astrosphere that offers rare insight into how the young Sun onc...

NASA’s Hubble Captures Rare Pre-Planetary Transformation as Twin Beams of Light Pierce the Cosmic Dust
A new Hubble image reveals twin beams blasting from a hidden dying star inside the Egg Nebula, a rare pre-planetary phase. The symmetrical arcs and glowing lobes show how Sun-like stars shed dust and gas before forming planetary nebulae, offering scientists a rare glimpse into stellar evolution.

Hubble Reveals Dramatic Final Moments of a Sun-Like Star in the Egg Nebula
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a striking new image of the Egg Nebula, capturing a Sun-like star in its brief pre-planetary phase. Twin beams of light pierce glowing shells of dust and gas, offering astronomers a rare close-up view of stellar death about 1,000 light-years from Earth.

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.

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.
