Chinese team finds 3 new planets, prompting new questions about Earth’s future
Chinese scientists have discovered three exoplanets that challenge the existing understanding of how planets evolve around aging stars, the research team behind the discoveries told the Global Times on Wednesday.
Chinese astronomers find planets that somehow avoided death by red giant stars
When a star like our sun grows old, it puffs up into a red giant that can gobble up its nearest planets. But Chinese astronomers say they have found three solar systems where planets should have been eaten this way yet somehow survived – a puzzle that could change how scientists picture Earth’s distant future. Using Nasa’s TESS space telescope, a team led by Qian Shengbang from Yunnan University showed that three Jupiter-like planets – each hugg…
Scientists from the School of Physics and Astronomy, Yunnan University, China, recently discovered three planets that should have been swallowed by their host stars but still exist. China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft approached an asteroid after a 1 billion kilometer journey. A mysterious "black hole star" never before seen in the universe has been discovered. NASA is accelerating its search for extremely rare metallic asteroids in the Solar System.
Astronomers have discovered planets that managed to avoid perishing while transforming their stars into red giants. Why these worlds survived remains a mystery.
