An Inside-out Solar System Has Been Discovered — It Breaks Everything

Astronomers have discovered a \"rule-breaking\" planetary system around the red dwarf star LHS-1903. While planetary formation typically places rocky planets near the star and gas giants further out, this system features a rocky \"super-Earth\" (LHS-1903e) in the outer reaches, challenging the universal template of planet formation and suggesting that timing and gas depletion play critical roles.
