Cosmic forensic experts are reconstructing the magnetic field around an infant star from the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around it.

Scientists believe that two asteroids might be fragments of long-lost "planetary embryos" from the early solar system.

The planets in our solar system orbit the sun essentially along a line across the sky in a plane called the ecliptic. For that reason, planets in our Earthly sky always appear somewhere along a ...
