General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of detectable circumbinary planets. Among the more than 4,500 stars known to host planets, one trend stands

Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.

Astronomers say the "huge" new world is six times the size of Jupiter despite only forming 50 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct.
