How chaotic planet formation may explain wide-orbit worlds like Planet Nine



Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 28, 2025
In the remote edges of planetary systems, far beyond the range of traditional planet-forming regions, astronomers have long grappled with the mystery of wide-orbit planets. These gas giants and planetary-mass bodies orbit hundreds to thousands of astronomical units (AU) from their stars, raising fundamental questions about their origins. A new study led by Rice University and the Planetary Science Institute provides compelling answers - and bolsters the case for the elusive Planet Nine. Using thou ... read more
