DEAR NEIL: I have had this same problem with my dwarf Burford hollies for years. The center and low-area leaves and branches thin out and die. The top and end parts remain green. I have these ...

Earth has a newly-discovered neighbor in the solar system.. But the heavenly body – possibly a dwarf planet à la Pluto – isn't a frequent visitor. Located beyond Neptune, its extreme orbit ...

Cue the Dwarf 3 (£418 / $520), a smart telescope that is exceptionally small. Weighing a mere 1.3 kg / 2.87lbs, it’s light and narrow and, crucially, able to fit into a camera bag.

But Pluto turned out to be too tiny — it is smaller than the moon — and was demoted to dwarf planet status in 2006. There are now four other officially recognized dwarf planets, and Cheng ...

The Sculptor Dwarf is a lightweight, coming in at only 30 million solar masses. M32, a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, is much a heftier dwarf elliptical galaxy with 3 billion solar masses.

Astronomers have discovered a freezing-cold world orbiting within the so-called "forbidden zone" around a dying star in which planets are normally destroyed.. The 5.8-billion-year-old white dwarf ...

Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, discover a new trans-Neptune Object, 2017OF201, potentially discrediting 2016 theory of Planet Nine.

A dwarf planet called 50000 Quaoar that orbits beyond Neptune appears to have a ring that shouldn't be there, at 7.4 times more distant than the planet's radius.

Pluto was once considered the ninth planet in the solar system, it was demoted in 2006 to dwarf planet status. We explore this icy body in more detail here.

Diffuse dwarf galaxies exhibit unexpectedly strong large-scale clustering, aligning with old dark matter halos, while compact dwarfs trace young halos. This pattern, ...
