'Planet' spotted in deep space
The Hubble telescope has given astronomers their first look at what is possibly a planet outside our solar system. Our science correspondent David Whitehouse reports.
The new object, designated TMR-1C, has been found in a star forming region in the constellation of Taurus.

Another planet has been found circling a star. The new planet is a little less than twice the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.
It was found by a team of American astronomers at San Francisco State University undertaking a survey of 400 nearby stars to see if any of them have planets around them. ...

New planets discovered.
The newly-found planets are like Jupiter.
Astronomers in the United States have discovered two new planets outside the Earth's solar system.
It is only recently that astronomers have begun to find "extra-solar" planets, but they say they expect to find many more in the coming months. ...

Extrasolar Giant Planet in Earth-like Orbit Discovery from a Long-term Project at La Silla
A new extrasolar planet has been found at the ESO La Silla Observatory as a companion to iota Horologii (iota Hor). This 5.4-mag solar-type star is located at a distance of 56 light-years and is just visible to the unaided eye in the southern constellation Horologium (The Pendulum Clock). ...

Scientists have discovered a new object orbiting the Sun after a spaceprobe was mysteriously knocked off course.
Researchers have yet to identify the object, but they are confident it exists because of the way it appears to have deflected the tiny Pioneer 10 craft, which is hurtling out towards the stars. ...

Possible 10th and 11th planet-like objects orbiting the Sun. After studying 13 comets whose orbits seem to have been affected by a massive object far beyond Pluto, a British scientist announced today that there may be a previously unknown and very large planet orbiting the Sun. Separately, three astrophysicists are set to propose that a brown dwarf lurks in the outer reaches of our solar system. ...

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have taken attendance in a class of brown dwarfs and found indications that these odd and elusive objects also tend to be loners. The Hubble census -- the most complete to date -- provides new and compelling evidence that stars and planets form in different ways. ...

Maverick astronomers insist there's something way the heck out there that's a lot larger than Jupiter— and it orbits our sun... Planet X, a hypothetical tenth member of the solar system, may be stirring up comets far, far beyond Pluto. It could be a giant world, many times the mass of Jupiter (above), or even a brown dwarf— a failed star. ...

Strange object found, defying ideas of solar system formation. Solar system creation theorists got more to chew on Monday when astronomers announced the discovery a huge object called a brown dwarf orbiting a star nearly as closely as Saturn is to our Sun. Added to recent findings of extrasolar planetary systems that are markedly unlike the one around the Sun, the new finding makes our solar system look like an oddball in the galaxy. ...
