As much as over 90 percent of the dwarf planet's crust could be water ice, giving some insight, the researchers believe, into ...

New research from NASA and Purdue University suggest that dwarf planet Ceres is chock full of water ice that once flowed as a ...

Recent studies suggest that the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, may have once contained a muddy ocean beneath its surface. This new understanding ...

A 2020 microlensing event was caused by a planetary system with an Earth-like planet and brown dwarf. The star type was uncertain. The team has determined that the star is a white dwarf, a system ...

The planetary system with a white dwarf, an Earth-like planet and a brown dwarf cannot be seen; the point of light in (c) is from the background source star that is no longer magnified.
