The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2019.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 was awarded "for contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth's place in the cosmos" with one half to James Peebles "for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology", the other half jointly to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz "for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star".

The awards are still handed out every December 10—the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death in Stockholm and Oslo.
