A giant conundrum has been found orbiting a teeny tiny red dwarf star just a fifth of the size of the Sun. Such small stars were thought to be incapable of producing giant planets. But there, in ...

Red dwarfs simply shouldn't have enough material to form such huge worlds. Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away.

A giant, Jupiter-like planet has been discovered by astronomers in a unique place, orbiting a small red dwarf star. According to researchers, who published their work on Thursday in the journal ...

Astronomers have found an unusually large planet orbiting a small star, located about 280 light-years from Earth. The unexpected size of the newly discovered world, called TOI 5205b, has caused ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered the smallest ever star to date – a tiny red dwarf only slightly larger than the planet Saturn. Known as EBLM J0555-57Ab, it sits roughly 600 ...

This is because small stars shouldn’t have enough extra material left over from their formation to build large planets. The planets found around red dwarfs typically range from about the mass of ...

Tiny red dwarfs are probably not the best stars to host planets on which life might evolve, however. After all, they tend to be much more active than the Sun, particularly early in their lives.

A giant conundrum has been found orbiting a teeny tiny red dwarf star just a fifth of the size of the Sun. Such small stars were thought to be incapable of producing giant planets. But there, in ...

Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away. It has just 20% of the mass of the sun, but has been found to host a giant planet, TOI-6894b, that's a little ...
