New observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS show high levels of deuterated water, suggesting it formed in a colder star ...

This one-million-year-old star-forming region contains thousands of new stars and hundreds of planetary mass objects floating freely in the nebula, not orbiting stars. A groundbreaking study published ...

How do rogue planetary-mass objects -- celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets -- form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic ...

Astronomers have identified an enormous "growth spurt" in a so-called rogue planet. Unlike the planets in our solar system, these objects do not orbit stars, free-floating on their own instead. The ...

Astronomers announced they discovered the TOI-201 planetary system, which greatly expands our understanding of how solar ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has found that giant free floating planets have the potential to form their own miniature planetary systems without the need for a star. In findings ...
