Wide-orbit planets are fairly common according to the study, and there's a good chance we have one of our own.

Astronomers pointed Webb at the star TWA 7, which is around a hundred light years from Earth — relatively nearby in the ...

Researchers in the US have suggested there is a 40 percent chance a ninth planet could exist in our solar system. Planet Nine ...

In an exciting breakthrough in planetary science, a recent study has increased the likelihood of Planet Nine’s existence by ...
