Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of three Earth-sized planets orbiting within a compact binary star system. This rare configuration, where planets circle two stars simultaneously, ...

Astronomers have identified a tightly bound pair of stars that are spiraling toward a catastrophic merger, turning a distant stellar system into a natural laboratory for testing gravity at its most ...

A pair of stars with three planets in orbit around one star or the other is the first system of its kind that has been confirmed. Pairs of stars, known as binaries, appear to be more common in the ...

Through international collaboration, a team of astronomers has confirmed two exoplanets and found hints of a third exoplanet at a binary star system known as TOI-2267. The planets were first found by ...

An international team of researchers has just revealed the existence of three Earth-sized planets in the binary stellar system TOI-2267 located about 190 light-years away. This discovery, published in ...

A planet has been discovered lurking in the habitable zone of not one, but two, stars. This far-off planet, situated around 310 light-years from Earth, has been found to exist within the two-star ...

Washington DC — New theoretical work shows that gas-giant planet formation can occur around binary stars in much the same way that it occurs around single stars like the Sun. The work is presented ...

A nearby binary star system is bereft of giant planets, but scientists think it may still be a decent place to look for life.

Artist's impression of a red dwarf (left) and a white dwarf (center) orbiting each other. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their magnetic fields interact, causing pulses of radio emission every two ...
