Weighing in at 0.6 solar mass, HOPS-315 should someday grow to become a star much like our own sun; this makes it a promising stand-in for studying the first stages of our solar system’s history. For ...

Getting data off an ancient floppy disk or computer tape isn't easy, but it can be done with the help of clever software and hardware. In 2012, William Parker and his colleagues went hunting for a ...

The most realistic way to test and benchmark disks is, of course, to just use them and see what happens. Unfortunately, that's neither very repeatable, nor is it simple to analyze.

A monster exoplanet as big as 10 times the size of Jupiter has emerged from the stellar gas and dust surrounding a young star ...
