Astronomers have made an unexpected discovery about the planet TOI-3884b, which orbits its star at a crazy angle. The planet’s orbit is tilted by around 62 degrees compared to the star’s rotation, and ...

Tracking the rotation speed of solid planets, like the Earth and Mars, is a relatively simple task: Just measure the time it takes for a surface feature to roll into view again. But giant gas planets ...
