Saturn’s moon Enceladus has geysers shooting tiny grains of ice into space. These grains could hold traces of life − but researchers need the right tools to tell.

A large heart-shaped structure non the dwarf planet Pluto has puzzled scientists for years. Now they may have some answers.

Medieval scholars connected celestial events to changes that happened on the ground, such as the overthrow of the king.

The Solar System could be awash with oceans, not on the surface but hidden inside the most surprising bodies

There are several ways in which stars can destroy and swallow their own planets.

Astronomers have spotted a surprisingly diverse set of planet-forming disks.

"With unprecedented glimpses into these disks surrounding young stars, the birthplaces of planets, JWST helps us uncover how planets form."

The winds that help to form planets in the gaseous discs of early solar systems have been imaged for the first time by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

Asteroids hitting Earth may have caused "Snowball Earth" periods where ice covered the planet's surface for thousands or millions of years.

The observation could fill in gaps in our knowledge about planet formation.
