Astronomers searching for planets beyond our solar system could increase their odds of success by scrutinizing the dusty disks ringing faraway stars, a new study suggests.

A cache of 14 large space rocks beyond Neptune was recently discovered by astronomers searching through the archives of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Astronomers have discovered a new asteroid in a region of Neptune's orbit where no previous object was known to exist – a so-called gravitational "dead zone."
