The formation of Earth is a cosmic tale that stretches back over 4.5 billion years, from the swirling gases and dust of the solar nebula to the planet we know today. But how exactly did Earth come to ...

If planetary formation times are correct, and the conditions in the Orion nebula are typical of stellar nurseries, then only one star in 10 is likely to form a planetary system, O’Dell says.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of the Ring Nebula, also known as M57, which is a planetary nebula formed by the glowing remains of a sun-like star.

The studies were first-of-their-kind panchromatic imaging surveys designed to understand the formation process and test models of binary-star-driven planetary nebula shaping.
