Surprise! Baby exoplanets might look like Smarties candies rather than spheres
Sweet new research suggests that newly forming planets may have a flattened shape similar to that of a popular British candy. A team of researchers from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in England used computer simulations to model the formation of planets in dense gas disks around young stars. Comparing these models with actual […]
Newborn planets look more like Smarties than spheres, study suggests
When new planets form around stars they have flattened shapes, like Smarties, and are not spherical as previously thought, scientists have said. Researchers at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) used computer simulations to model the formation of planets. To develop their models, the team used a concept in astrophysics known as the theory of […]
