Ten observatories in six European countries teamed up for recent observations of a stellar occultation by the dwarf planet Haumea, which surprisingly show a narrow and dense ring orbiting the dwarf ...

It's a process similar to the way we detect exoplanets. In addition to Haumea's characteristics, the team also realized it had rings. Haumea and its moons as seen by Hubble. Haumea is too distant to ...

What's special about Chiron's rings is that they're still forming; this marks the first time astronomers have ever seen a ...

The particle dynamics of the recently observed ring around dwarf planet Haumea is numerically investigated. The point mass gravitational force, a second degree and order gravity field, and the solar ...

I find the outer reaches of our solar system fascinating. It’s a place that we know very little about considering how relatively close it is – even its size is up for debate. It’s littered with icy ...
