In addition to the exoplanet’s polar orbit, the brown dwarf pair itself is extraordinarily rare. They form an eclipsing ...

"A planet orbiting not just a binary, but a binary brown dwarf, as well as being on a polar orbit, is rather incredible and ...

In 2018, astronomers discovered a brown dwarf binary system. Brown dwarfs are stellar objects that never had enough mass to ...

Like the Star Wars planet, a distant world follows a path around two stars, both of them small, cool bodies called brown ...

Binary stars, pairs of stars orbiting each other, are very common in the universe, but they had never before been found near a supermassive black hole, where the intense gravity can make stellar ...

Astronomers have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarfs are the cause of most type 1a supernova explosions. While the pair are in close orbit, the heavier of the two theoretically accumulates ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first ...

The image of Luke Skywalker gazing wistfully across the desert of Tatooine while a pair of “suns” set on the horizon is among ...

The trick is that you need a system with at least two stars. McInnes started by searching for any points within a binary star system that could host a stable Dyson sphere arrangement, where the sphere ...

For the first time, substantial evidence of a 90-degree trajectory around a pair of stars has been reported, thanks to images ...

We had hints that planets on perpendicular orbits around binary stars could exist, but until now we lacked clear evidence of ...
