Planets that were rocky from the start should be smaller close to the stars, where studies of other young star systems suggest there should have been less material available when these planets were fPlanets that were rocky from the start should be smaller close to the stars, where studies of other young star systems suggest there should have been less material available when these planets were fplanets were forming.

The planet [a hot Jupiter] was too close to its sun to have formed there, and this implied something had to have migrated inward.

Trilling says the triple - star planet could belong to a class that formed in a different way, maybe even close to the star.

Churchill assumes that planets are formed from the gas that is torn off a star when another star passes close to it — a model suggested by astrophysicist James Jeans in 1917, which has since been ruled out.

Most solar systems might form with planets squished even closer together.

Ghost - like particles that were first created in the instant following the Big Bang, antineutrinos and their partner neutrinos travel at close to the speed of light and are notoriously difficult to observe as they move through space, passing through planets, star systems, and galaxies with scant interactions with other forms of matter.

On February 25, 2008, a team of astronomers released a paper on simulation results which support the conclusions of previous studies that multiple - planet systems could have formed in close orbits around both heavy - element rich, Alpha Centauri A and B.

How could a planet be so close to its parent star — it seemed very unlikely that it could form there — and was such a planet stable against evaporation by stellar radiation?

Alternatively, the planet could be evidence against the migration theory, suggesting that giant planets can in fact form close in to their stars.

The modelling suggested that a Neptune - like planet actually formed much closer to Vega and was pushed by a Jupiter - like planet in an inner orbit out to its current wide orbit around 80 AUs away from Vega over about 56 million years, sweeping many comets out with it and causing the dust disk to become clumpy (Mark C. Wyatt, 2003).

Davies says planets that lie close to their stars may have been bigger when they were first formed.

In stark comparison, HAT - P - 26b has a metallicity of just 4.8 times that of the Sun, suggesting that not only is it closer to the gas giants in composition but also that it likely formed closer to its host star than the planets of a similar size in our own system.

It is commonly believed that the planets Uranus and Neptune migrated out to their present orbits after forming closer to the sun and then gravitationally interacted with smaller bodies.

Their limited light and heat meant that the habitable zone — the region where liquid water could form, and thus life would be considered most likely to evolve — of planets around them would be very close to the star, putting them in range of radiation from the tiny stars.
