A Venus-Mass Planet Orbiting a Brown Dwarf: Missing Link between Planets and Moons
A. Udalski, Y. K. Jung, C. Han +20
The co-planarity of solar-system planets led Kant to suggest that they formed from an accretion disk, and the discovery of hundreds of such disks around young stars as well as hund…
