Planetary systems around Sun-like stars may preserve the alignment set when they are born: a comparison of 114 stars found similar rates of misalignment across different stages of development. Other new findings trace a temperate super-Earth near the edge of its star’s habitable zone, the rapid loss of ice around young stars, and kilometer-scale debris orbiting white dwarfs.

More about Star position in StellarGuide
Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.
Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.
Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
