Kicking off June with a cosmic showstopper, a five-planet parade has already begun gracing the morning sky and will continue to greet early risers for the rest of the month. A rare gathering of several visible planets, which we’ve been enjoying in the predawn heavens for the last few months — including several close conjunctions…

WASHINGTON—For only the second time, astronomers have detected what appears to be a moon orbiting a planet in another solar system. Just like the first time, this one has traits suggesting that such moons may differ greatly from those populating our solar system. Data obtained by NASA’s Kepler space telescope before it was retired in…

Scientists for the first time have spotted a moon-forming region around a planet beyond our solar system—a Jupiter-like world surrounded by a disk of gas and dust massive enough that it could spawn three moons the size of the one orbiting Earth. The researchers used the ALMA observatory in Chile’s Atacama desert to detect the…

A radio telescope has found evidence that planets might form at the same time as their stars, instead of much later as was previously thought. The telescope detected dark rings in the disk around a nascent star system. The rings could be the first evidence that a star and its planets are forming and evolving…
