The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted six likely rogue worlds—objects with planetlike masses but untethered from any star's gravity—including the lightest ever identified with a dusty disk around ...

On the left, an artist’s impression of a globular cluster near its birth, hosting extremely massive stars with powerful stellar winds that enrich the cluster with elements processed at extremely high ...

For decades, scientists have studied how planets form by looking at young stars nearby, assuming that these environments could be representative of all star systems. However, as astronomers discover ...
