An artist's conception depicts the exoplanet MOA-2007-BLG-192Lb orbiting its host star. The star, MOA-2007-BLG-192L, is a leading candidate for the smallest known hydrogen-burning main-sequence ...

Some of the biggest, most intense regions of star formation are found in the smallest of galaxies, and scientists believe this is because stars reaching the ends of their lives in the so-called ...

There are billions and trillions of stars in our universe. But what is the biggest known star in the universe?

There are around 2 000 billion galaxies in our Universe and, while our own Milky-Way encompasses between 200 and 400 billion stars, small dwarf galaxies contain only a thousand times less. How ...

Small stars make good candidates in the search for exoplanets, von Boetticher said. Red dwarfs, smaller and cooler than stars like our sun, are the most common type of star in the universe.

The largest structures in the Universe have five times as much dark matter as normal matter. But the smallest ones? The number rises into the thousands.

This dwarf spheroidal galaxy contains only a thousand stars and is just barely visible from Earth because it’s so faint. A team of researchers in Hawaii at the W. M. Keck Observatory, the ...

Astronomers have identified the smallest star ever discovered in the Universe and said that it could help in the search for Earth-like planets that may have the potential for life. The star is ...

Astronomers have found a massive planet orbiting a small, cool star, and planet formation theories struggle to explain its existence.

The universe is a big place, but it's made out of small pieces. The periodic table includes elements such as oxygen, carbon and other building blocks that make up stars, cats or cups of coffee ...
