NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's TESS telescope.

A giant exoplanet has just been confirmed about 400 light-years from Earth. Named TOI-4465 b, it stands out with a mass six times greater than Jupiter's and unusual orbital characteristics.

This giant planet orbits its star so closely that it completes a full orbit in just 30.5 hours. Its dayside reaches a scorching 3000°C, while the eternal nightside cools down to 1500°C. You would ...

A team of international researchers led by Tomas Stolker in the Netherlands has imaged a young gas giant exoplanet near a 12-million-year-old star. The planet is orbiting a star whose planet formation ...

Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." ...
