There Might Be More Than One Way to Make a PlanetAstronomers may need to reconsider the approach to planet formation, revealing a complex process involving both bottom-up and top-down mechanisms.
NASA's new Webb telescope images support previously controversial findings about how planets formWebb telescope captures images challenging established models of planet formation, revealing persistent disks around ancient stars.
James Webb captures stunning new image of planets that've 'gone rogue'The discovery of rogue worlds challenges existing models of star and planet formation, indicating some form independently without a host star.
The badminton model of planet formationLin's study offers a simplified method to understand dust alignment in protoplanetary disks, crucial for the early stages of planet formation.
Jupiter Used to Be Flat, Scientists SuggestGas giants like Jupiter likely had a flattened shape during their early days.Current theories suggest that gas giants are formed by the breaking up of large rotating protostellar discs around young stars.

Scientists propose a shocking new theory for the origin of the moonThe mysterious origin of the moon may be explained by a new theory suggesting it was captured by Earth instead of resulting from a collision.
Astronomers Are Snapping Baby Pictures of Planets by the DozenAdvancements in technology and observational capabilities have significantly improved our understanding of planet formation.Astronomers have recently observed 86 nascent planetary families, providing a wealth of new data for analysis.
Orion's Twin Rogue Planets Inexplicably Blaze with Intense Radio WavesFree-floating Jupiter-size planets in Orion Nebula challenge traditional planet formation theories.Radio signals detected from JuMBO24 suggest it may have formed alone rather than being ejected from a star system.
ALMA Telescope Detects "At Least 3 Times" More Water Than On Earth In A Nearby Protoplanetary DiskAstronomers detected water in a disk 450 light-years away where baby planets are forming.The amount of water observed is three times more than all of Earth's oceans, influencing planet formation.
