In a memorable image from the 1977 film "Star Wars," the young hero Luke Skywalker gazes at two suns setting above the ...

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

For the first time, scientists have found strong evidence of a "polar planet"—a planet whose orbit is tilted at 90 degrees ...

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

Astronomers have discovered a strikingly unusual exoplanet: one which orbits its host stars in a totally new way. The planet ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time that strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

Artist’s impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b’s unusual orbit around its host stars, a pair of brown dwarfs. The newly discovered planet has a polar orbit, which is perpendicular to the ...

In a discovery that sounds like it’s straight out of science fiction, astronomers have found a planet orbiting two stars at a perfect 90-degree angle. This is the first confirmed evidence of a planet ...

No planet in our solar system has a polar orbit. The several exoplanets known to follow such a path orbit only a single star. When two stars, or in this case two brown dwarfs, orbit each other, it is ...

Astronomers have discovered a planet that orbits at a 90-degree angle around a rare pair of strange stars—a real-life 'twist' ...

These planets typically occupy orbits that roughly align with the plane in which their host stars orbit each other. There have previously been hints that planets on perpendicular, or polar ...

"A planet orbiting not just a binary, but a binary brown dwarf, as well as being on a polar orbit, is rather incredible and exciting." Scientists have perhaps discovered the weirdest planetary ...
