Protoplanet Collision
Astronomers using the ALMA telescope reported in 2021 the first detection of carbon
monoxide (CO) gas in the terrestrial planet region surrounding a young star. Planet
formation models predict that in the last stage of planetary assembly, terrestrial...

Planet Collision
Astronomers from the University of Warwick and
Leiden Observatory have observed an even which they believe is the first of its kind
detected - the aftermath of a collision between two planets. The collision caused the
two bodies to merge into a giant...
