Seeing the Exact Moment When New Planets Started Forming

Astronomers have seen exoplanetary systems at almost every stage, from extremely young to older than the Solar System. But now, they've spotted the exact moment when planet formation is initiated around a young star. Meteorites store a history of when the first minerals formed in the Solar System, and the ALMA telescope has seen the signal of these minerals forming in a protostellar system, about 1,300 light-years from Earth.

Scientists Say That Uranus Appears to Have a Girlfriend

When checking out Uranus, scientists discovered something exciting: that the planet appears to have a long-term girlfriend. In a new, not-yet-peer-reviewed paper, an international group of researchers detailed finding a so-called "Centaur" — a small, icy, rocky body that is designated as a minor planet that sits between Uranus and Neptune — that appears to have been keeping up with Uranus in a cosmic dance for thousands or even millions of years. Dubbed 2015 OU194, the Centaur in question differs from others of its type, which often have chaotic orbits, because of its uniquely stable rotation around the Sun. Specifically, [...]
