Scientists unveiled the discovery of the first binary star system near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The binary system, named D9, consists of ...

Astronomers have made a bizarre discovery: a planet which orbits around two stars at a strange angle.

Over time, the gravity of this lopsided disk could have pulled some stars closer and tilted their orbits, turning them into the S-star cluster seen today.

An international team of researchers led by PD Dr Florian Peißker has found the first binary star in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* (Sagittarius A star) at the ...

A bizarre planet defies cosmic norms: scientists have confirmed a giant planet orbiting in reverse around one star in a close binary system—an arrangement previously thought impossible. Using ...

The faint star they’ve discovered, dubbed S0-102, is a celestial roadrunner that orbits closer to the black hole’s event horizon — the threshold at which nothing, not even light, can escape ...

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

In a first, a pair of unusual stars has been revealed to have an equally unusual companion – an exoplanet that orbits them perpendicularly. Astronomers may think they know what is normal for ...
