UC Davis researchers have dated the earliest step in the formation of the solar system — when microscopic interstellar dust coalesced into mountain-sized chunks of rock — to 4,568 million years ago, ...
V1298 Tau links swollen young worlds to the compact planets that astronomers keep finding, and its timing signals made that connection measurable. Future transit-timing and atmospheric observations ...
New images of a young star made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) reveal what scientists think may be the very earliest stages in the formation of planets. The scientists used the VLA to ...
