Is A Young Exoplanet Warping The Disk Around Fomalhaut?

Fomalhaut is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is about 25 light-years away, making it a galaxy amenable to detailed observations. It's also a young star, only about 440 million years old. At that age, stars like Fomalhaut are surrounded by active debris disks made of rock and dust from collisions between planetesimals. Exoplanets form in these disks, and one of the hot topics in exoplanet science concerns how planets form in these circumstellar disks.

Exoplanet In A Ring Gap Shows How Protoplanets Can Shape Their Environment

Circumstellar discs are believed to be key components in planetary formation. However, we have very little actual evidence of planets growing in the “rings” that surround young stars. So planet formation theorists were ecstatic to learn that two new papers in Astrophysical Journal Letters describe a planet that is actively forming in the gap it most likely created in the ring system of a young, Sun-like star.

Life on Earth Probably Got Some Help From Space

The greatest challenge facing astrobiologists is that there is only one planet known to us that has life. Of all the bodies of the Solar System, only Earth has a dense atmosphere, liquid water on its surface, and the organic chemistry that supports life. However, these conditions did not exist billions of years ago when Earth was still young. While the nebula from which the planets formed was rich in volatile elements, the high temperatures in the inner Solar System largely prevented them from condensing, leaving them mostly in a gaseous state.

Astronomy or astrology? A quiz of science and stars

Dive into the fascinating crossroads of astronomy and astrology — where science meets symbolism, and the sky tells two very different stories.

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as astronomers thought

Chemistry in the first 50 million to 100 million years after the Big Bang may have been more active than we expected.
