Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely ...

A newly discovered gas giant, called TOI-6894b, orbiting a low-mass red dwarf star defies existing models of planet formation ...

With 10 times the mass of our planet, and spending only part of its orbit in the habitable zone, Kepler-725c is very ...

A small red dwarf star is challenging our knowledge of how planets form by coexisting with a massive exoplanet, much like a ...

Most of the stars across the Milky Way are small red dwarfs like TOI-6894, which has only 20 percent the mass of our Sun.

A giant conundrum has been found orbiting a teeny tiny red dwarf star just a fifth of the size of the Sun. Such small stars ...

TOI-6894 is roughly 240 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo and is the smallest-known star to host a large planet ...

Yet it produced a gas giant with a radius larger than Saturn's, according to the international team of researchers who ...

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our sun. Like many small stars ...

Astronomers discover giant gas planet TOI-6894b orbiting a tiny red dwarf, rewriting what we know about planet formation.

It had not been thought possible that such tiny, weak stars could provide the conditions needed to form and host huge planets.

The host star, TOI-6894, is a red dwarf with only 20% the mass of the Sun, typical of the most common stars in our galaxy.
