The Fram2 mission was funded by Chun Wang, a Chinese-born entrepreneur and adventurer from Malta. Wang flew alongside ...

Luke found life on Tatooine to be boring, but he should be glad, because as we have seen, binary stars have the potential to ...

Fram2's orbit flew Dragon on a north-to-south trajectory in low Earth orbit at an altitude of about 271 miles (437 kilometers ...

For the first time, scientists have found strong evidence of a "polar planet"—a planet whose orbit is tilted at 90 degrees compared to the orbit of its two host stars. The discovery, made using the ...

In addition to the exoplanet’s polar orbit, the brown dwarf pair itself is extraordinarily rare. They form an eclipsing ...

The Milky Way is known to host a diverse array of planetary systems, providing astronomers with extensive insights into how ...

Have you ever noticed that rockets tend to launch from the east coast of the U.S.? There is actually a reason for that, and ...

Rather than following the plane established for the orbit of the two brown dwarfs, the planet instead orbits almost nearly perpendicular from the plane - called a polar orbit - in a journey lasting at ...

However, 2M1510(AB)b is the first bonafide planet to be found on a circumbinary polar orbit. "Our expectation is that the planet would have formed in an inclined disc, such as those observed by ...
