CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a precious peek into the dawn of our own solar system.

The space object, named Chiron, is believed to be a piece of rock measuring a whopping 130 miles wide at its broadest point - ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS could serve as seeds for giant planet formation, potentially explaining how massive planets form around distant stars, according to BBC and Pfalzner’s research.

Peering through a cosmic keyhole at distant baby star, astronomers may have opened a new window on the deep past of our own solar system. Weighing in at 0.6 solar mass, HOPS-315 should someday grow to ...
