In a 16-year long study, using several of ESO’s flagship telescopes, a team of German astronomers has produced the most detailed view ever of the surroundings of the monster lurking at our Galaxy’s ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

Research into exoplanetary systems and stellar dynamics has reached an exciting juncture, where advances in observational techniques and theoretical models are converging to elucidate the formation, ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.
