Dust around other stars offers clues to collisions involving planetary embryos and the disruption of established systems.

In the previous episode #13, we looked at what happens when three spheres—planets, soap bubbles, and water droplets—collide.

The James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers study planetary collisions in other star systems like the type ...

Hubble Space Telescope images have revealed a second massive collision between planetary bodies orbiting the nearby star Fomalhaut, roughly 25 light-years from Earth. The discovery, reported in a peer ...

When worlds collide…suns act squirrely. Astronomers have witnessed a rare and violent cosmic crash between two planets, and they say the fallout could teach us about the formation of our world. The ...
