Two planets that astronomers discovered on the Kepler mission may not be the rocky, Earth-like bodies that we originally believed. Instead, a new study suggests …
A group of researchers have spotted one of the most massive super-Earths we’ve discovered so far. The massive exoplanet orbits a star located just 200 …
Scientists have made an amazing discovery. According to a new study published in The Astrophysical Letters, astronomers found an Earth-like planet with no atmosphere. The …
Astronomers have discovered a strange “marshmallow” world 580 light-years away from Earth. The planet, which orbits a red dwarf star, is believed to be the …
Astronomers continue to find super-Earths throughout the universe. A group working on NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite recently discovered a few exciting planets orbiting within …
The hunt for alien worlds is more difficult than it may seem. Without the ability to travel through the cosmos, we’re left to look through …
In yet another historic moment, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first-ever direct image of an exoplanet. The planet in question, known as …
Scientists have discovered a beautiful ocean world that looks like it was ripped out of the Star Wars prequels. The exoplanet TOI-1452 b was discovered …
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has announced a new competition called NameExoWorlds 2022. The competition is aimed at helping astronomers come up with names for …
Astronomers may have discovered the youngest exoplanet ever detected. They detected the world in question around the adolescent star AS 209 using the Atacama Large …
Scientists have discovered a Super-Earth orbiting a red dwarf star. The discovery is the first made by the IRD Subaru Strategic Program (IRD-SSP). Additionally, it …
NASA has a bold new plan to help detect signs of life on distant planets. The plan relies heavily on a new telescope system. However, …
NASA unveiled the first full-color images for its James Webb space telescope this week, and the results were absolutely astounding. While it’s easy to get …
Scientists have discovered a massive exoplanet forming that is estimated to be nine times bigger than Jupiter. The planet is still in the proverbial “womb” …
Almost 850 light-years away from Earth, a planet named WASP-121b makes the trip around its star. The star is a hot Jupiter, which means it …
New data found by researching one of the most extreme exoplanets we know of could help us understand the complex atmospheric layers of others, including …
It wasn’t all that long ago that humans didn’t even know for sure if planets existed outside of our solar system. We can see stars, …
A new study suggests that habitable exoplanets may be plentiful in our home galaxy, The Milky Way. Researchers crunched data on thousands of exoplanets that …
Researchers theorize that, under the right conditions, carbon-rich exoplanets could generate huge quantities of diamonds beneath their surface. The recipe including heat, pressure, carbon, water, …
NASA’s TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, has completed its primary mission and will now move on to an extended mission where it will continue …
Researchers at the European Southern Observatory have captured the first-ever images of a planetary system with multiple exoplanets. The system revolves around a star that …
Researchers suggest exoplanets with dusty atmospheres may have a better shot at supporting life on their surfaces. Planets with dusty atmospheres may have more stable …
Scientists from Cornell University have developed a model to “decode” the habitability of distant exoplanets. By taking into account the color of the planet as …
Astronomers discovered a massive distant planet orbiting star Kepler-88. The planet is roughly three times the size of our own Jupiter, and around 300 times …
Astronomers have discovered a planet so similar to Earth in size that it could be our planet’s twin. The planet, Kepler-1649c, is in the habitable …
