The star HIP 67522 with a flare erupting toward an orbiting planet, HIP 67522 b, is depicted in this illustration released by ...

JWST has made another breakthrough. Around a newly formed star just 111 light-years away, the powerful space telescope has ...

The exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, has been dubbed TWA 7b after NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured ...

The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and ...

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly ...

Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away. It has just 20% of the mass of the sun, but has been found to host a giant planet, TOI-6894b, that's a little ...

Exoplanets—planets that orbit stars beyond our solar system—have transformed our understanding of the universe. Since the first confirmed discovery in the 1990s, more than 5,000 have been ...

An exoplanet is a planet from a different star system. Most known exoplanets orbit stars within the Milky Way, but with the help of powerful space telescopes, scientists have discovered exoplanets ...

Exoplanets A tiny star gave birth to a giant exoplanet, but no one knows how. ... Animation, composition and annotations by Dr. Hugh Osborn (University of Bern), background image by NASA/MIT/TESS ...

The goal of LIFE is to probe dozens of exoplanets similar in mass, radius, and temperature to Earth by studying their atmospheres for signs of water, oxygen, and even more complex biosignatures.

When searching for signs of life on planets outside our Solar System, sometimes nothing is almost as good as something. Even a lack of biosignatures on examined exoplanets can still tell us a lot ...

Hydrogen and helium atmospheres could keep exoplanets warm enough to be habitable for billions of years, even at huge distances from their stars. Astrobiologists normally think of the habitable ...
