An artist's impression of a newly discovered giant planet named TOI-6894 b (top right) orbiting a red dwarf star (center) about 20% the mass of the sun, the image was released on June 4, 2025.

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation ...

Astronomers announced Wednesday they have discovered a massive planet orbiting a tiny star, a bizarre pairing that has stumped scientists. Most of the stars across the Milky Way are small red ...

Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and hosting of a large planet. However, as published today in Nature Astronomy , an international team of ...
