Whatever the origin story, TOI-6894b is leading the ranks of other known gas giants orbiting small and faint stars that ...

Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely found around the smallest stars, red dwarfs. Red dwarfs simply shouldn't ...

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it.

Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star.

Astronomers studying the tiny red star TRAPPIST-1, for example, found that it hosts seven Earth-sized planets, including three that may be within the star’s habitable zone, where conditions are ...

Red dwarfs simply shouldn't have enough material to form such huge worlds. Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away.

This graphic compares the red-dwarf star system of GJ 3512, home of the Jupiter-like planet GJ 3512b, to that of our own solar system and other red-dwarf planetary systems. (Image credit: Guillem ...
