It must have cleared all other celestial bodies, except its own moons, from its orbit.

Astronomers have discovered a rocky Earth-like planet around a white dwarf star, hinting at our planet's future about eight billion years from now.

A distant white dwarf hosts an Earth-like planet in an orbit that might be similar to Earth’s if it survives the Sun’s red giant phase.

On a small dwarf planet called Makemake, astronomers have seen signs of surprising temperature changes. These could indicate ...

"Gliese 229B was considered the poster-child brown dwarf, and now we know we were wrong ... around 4% of the distance between Earth and the sun. The two brown dwarfs of Gliese 229B are so tightly ...

that doesn't mean most inhabited worlds have a red dwarf sun. Red dwarfs are known to be violently active in their youth. They emit powerful flares that might strip nearby planets of their ...

Astronomers observed neutron star 4U 1820-30 spinning at 716 times per second, among the galaxy’s fastest, emitting bursts ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

Scientists have puzzled over the object known as Gliese 229B, the first known brown dwarf discovered 30 years ago. Brown dwarfs are sometimes called failed stars because they're lighter than stars ...
