Astronomers discovered several new minor planets orbiting beyond Neptune.

Astronomers continue to discover exosolar planets that challenge our ideas about planetary formation.

Astronomers use powerful telescopes to study extrasolar planets that may host life.

Scientists have found new storms forming on the outer planets.

The inner planets are rocky worlds that formed close to the Sun.

During the conference, researchers presented new models predicting atmospheres of distant carbon planets.

Astrophysicists speculate that some exoplanets discovered around carbon-rich stars could be carbide planets rather than silicate worlds.

In many star systems, silicate planets are surrounded by thin atmospheres that evolve over billions of years.

Scientists are debating whether silicon planets could host life in environments very different from Earth's.

Giant planets shape the distribution of small bodies in their systems through strong gravitational interactions.
