For the first time, scientists have found strong evidence of a "polar planet"—a planet whose orbit is tilted at 90 degrees compared to the orbit of its two host stars. The discovery, made using the ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets — worlds beyond our solar system. Most of them are in single-star systems, ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

This is an artist’s impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b’s unusual orbit around its host stars, a pair of brown dwarfs. The newly discovered planet has a polar orbit, which is perpendicular to ...

The pair of brown dwarfs, known as 2M1510, were detected in 2018 by Professor Amaury Triaud and others with the Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars (SPECULOOS) that the University ...

Astronomers have discovered a strikingly unusual exoplanet: one which orbits its host stars in a totally new way. The planet ...

Astronomers, including Triaud, have made strides in the last few years in detecting planets in multi-star systems by ...

The image of Luke Skywalker gazing wistfully across the desert of Tatooine while a pair of “suns” set on the horizon is among ...

Astronomers have discovered the weirdest planetary system ever seen, consisting of a planet rolling around rare binary ...

We are already familiar with exoplanets orbiting two stars. But 2M1510 (AB) b is a novelty: its orbit is perpendicular to that of its stars.

Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered a truly bizarre planet — one that orbits two stars at a perfect ...
