Astronomers using the ALMA telescope have discovered an oddly tilted planet-forming disk within a double binary star system, a configuration that up until this point only existed in theory. Quadruple ...

New research led by an astronomer at the University of Warwick has found the first confirmed example of a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disk to a position that leaps over the ...

Planet-forming disks of material typically orbit around the equators of stars, but now scientists have discovered such rings can go dramatically awry and encircle the poles of stars instead. The new ...

Astronomers have found the first confirmed example of a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disc to a position that leaps over the orbital plane of those stars. New research led by an ...
