Yet another study promising to help us find a planet beyond the orbit of Pluto fails. So, where exactly is Planet Nine? And why haven't we found it?

Astronomers looking into the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects may have found a flaw in data we thought pointed to the existence of a large planet beyond Neptune's orbit.

When some stars die, they take their entire systems with them. Others appear to give their planets a fighting chance.

A new study shows just how little we know about why Venus became the hothouse world it is today.

Considering what we know about planetary formation, Jupiter shouldn't have been able to grow as massive in its current orbit. But a new simulation shows it could've been born much, much further away.

A tiny, roughly kilometer sized rock might not seem like much of a discovery, but it's an important confirmation of our models of planetary formation and solar system evolution.

A recent paper imagines a new explanation for the strange motions of Trans-Neptunian Objects observed by astronomers for the last 200 years, but it doesn't mean that we won't still search for Planet Nine.

A nearby baby star has been discovered with a warped protoplanetary disk — a feature that may reveal the true nature of the solar system's planetary misalignments

A massive collision seems to be the only plausible reason why Uranus is the oddball it is, and now we have an idea of what it might have looked like. So what do we do with this data?

Saturn's rings are young and might be gone almost as quickly as they appeared in planetary terms, according to the latest research by NASA.

InSight's recording of Martian winds isn't what you'd hear if you were on the planet yourself. And if you start asking why, you'll find out some bizarre and fascinating things about how winds work on alien worlds.

The debate over whether Pluto is a planet, much less what constitutes a planet, is still raging in the scientific community.

Astronomers found a planet on death row orbiting a dying star. The kicker? That solar system was born in another galaxy.

Scientists issue a correction to the age of the Earth. What does this mean? Pretty much nothing...

Despite what the media might have told you, we don't actually know if a rocky planet slammed into Jupiter or not.
