For the dwarf planet candidate, one trip around the sun takes over 24,000 years. Its orbit challenges a proposed path for a hypothetical Planet Nine.

The discovery of a Saturn-sized gas giant orbiting a small red dwarf is urging astronomers to reconsider their theories of ...

TOI-6894 is roughly 240 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo and is the smallest-known star to host a large planet ...

An international team of astronomers discovered a giant exoplanet named TOI-6894b orbiting a red dwarf star called TOI-6894, ...

Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star.

The host star, TOI-6894, is a red dwarf with only 20% the mass of the Sun, typical of the most common stars in our galaxy.

Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely ...

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it.

It had not been thought possible that such tiny, weak stars could provide the conditions needed to form and host huge planets.

A small red dwarf star, TOI-6894, is defying astronomers' expectations by having a gas giant planet in its orbit.

With its low density and unusually cool, methane-rich atmosphere, this planet offers a rare window into giant planet formation around small stars.
