"Throwing a close companion into the mix could possibly wreak further havoc on the already complicated processes surrounding ...

The study suggests that planets closest to their stars, especially those that orbit their stars in just 12 days or less, are at a higher risk of being sent to their doom by their aging suns.

Astronomers have discovered that aging stars may be devouring their closest giant planets as they swell into red giants. Using NASA’s TESS telescope to study nearly half a million stars, scientists ...

This extreme expansion poses a serious threat to nearby planets. For example, when the Sun becomes a red giant in about 5 ...

When Galileo pointed his telescope at Saturn and Jupiter, he had just discovered the nature of two giant planets. Later came Uranus and Neptune, two more gas giants. Since then, astronomers have ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered that aging stars in their so-called "red giant" phase are even more destructive to their orbiting planets than ...

"Similar to the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt is a region of leftovers from the solar system's early history. Like the ...

It's been one Neptunian year—or about 165 Earth years—since astronomers first observed the most distant planet from the sun.

A new survey of 500,000 stars finds only 0.28% host close-in giants, showing how aging Sun-like stars drag their planets to destruction.

New research reveals that as stars age and expand, they pose a significant threat to nearby planets, often leading to their destruction.

Researchers analyzed nearly half a million nearby star systems to understand how giant planets fare as their stars expand into red giants.

Astronomers might have found evidence of a structure located farbeyond Neptune, potentially giving us clues about the solar ...
