No planet in our solar system has a polar orbit. The several exoplanets known to follow such a path orbit only a single star. When two stars, or in this case two brown dwarfs, orbit each other, it is ...

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 that strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting a ...

Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered a truly bizarre planet — one that orbits two stars at a perfect 90-degree angle. This “polar planet” circles a rare eclipsing pair of brown ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets — worlds beyond our solar system. Most of them are in single-star systems, ...

For the first time, scientists have found strong evidence of a "polar planet"—a planet whose orbit is tilted at 90 degrees ...

Exoplanet orbits binary stars at a 90-degree tilt Discovered using ALMA and VLT telescopes Orbit challenges planetary formation theories ...

In a discovery that sounds like it’s straight out of science fiction, astronomers have found a planet orbiting two stars at a perfect 90-degree angle. This is the first confirmed evidence of a planet ...
