When it comes to searching for objects outside of our own solar system, sometimes things aren’t always as they first appear. NASA’s Kepler space telescope spent its almost-decade in space searching for distant >>
Spotting a planet orbiting a star 8,000 light-years away isn’t exactly easy, but modern telescope technology has allowed astronomers to accomplish such feats with shocking regularity, especially over the past half decade or >>
Peering at distant planets is a tricky business for astronomers. There’s plenty that they can assume about planets based on what they look like from afar, but it’s still largely a guessing game. >>
Studying distant planets has helped scientists better explain how the universe ticks, but sometimes a discovery produces more questions than it answers. Such is the case with a far-off star called CoRoT-2 and >>
NASA regularly rolls out news about its discoveries, theories, and studies, and most of the time they do so with very little fanfare. When the agency takes the time to schedule a press >>
