This is the first time a Jupiter-like planet that survived the death throes of its parent star has been confirmed.

Researchers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope to analyse the three observed dust rings around the three stars.

Close A planetary system 897 light-years away from Earth consists of two planets that orbit a star, rotating backwards. It used to be presumed that the equator of a spinning star needs to line up with the orbital plane of its planets due to the fact that the stars and planets are both ultimately growing from the same spinning molecular cloud. As a result, the star needs to spin in the same direction that the planets are orbiting. However, the K2-290 system is not following this rule. Specifical...

It challenges theories about how planets form and change over time

And our planetary system after earth of course. since the 1960 s. scientists had suspected the existence of ice in the permanently shadowed craters at the moons poles. these colder trops of the chilliest parts of the moon. the temperatures here can sink as low as minus 240 degrees celsius. in 2009 another submission shed light on the mystery and confirmed the hypothesis. the agencys lunar reconnaissance orbiter circled the moon in a low orbit. nasa deliberately crashed a rocket into a crater on ...
