POLICE attempting to speak with a man about a "traffic matter" leapt into action at Toronto on Thursday after he allegedly fled in a vehicle with stolen plates and led officers on a chase.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, astronomers have discovered icy exocomet belts circling 74 different alien planetary systems.

"Exocometary belts are found in at least 20% of planetary systems." In our own solar system, the Kuiper Belt is a region of icy bodies, some of which fly through the inner solar system as comets ...

Some are narrow rings, as in the canonical picture of a ‘belt’ like our Solar System’s Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. But a larger number of them are wide, and probably better described as ‘disks’ rather than ...

Planetesimal belts, remnants of the planet formation process, hold a wealth of clues about planetary systems beyond our own. These belts, analogous to the Kuiper and asteroid belts in our Solar System ...

Behind the planets in the solar system is the Kuiper Belt. An inventory of similar structures around other stars shows how unusual it is. A research team has used several telescopes to take images ...
