One of the main questions in exoplanet science concerns M dwarfs (red dwarfs) and the habitability of exoplanets that orbit ...
In a zesty new discovery, scientists have unearthed a strange lemon-shaped exoplanet. It is unlike one we have seen before, ...
The exoplanet is believed to be one of the farthest known from Earth. This artist's map of the Milky Way shows the location of one of the farthest known exoplanets, lying 13,000 light-years away. Most ...
Now, a new Nature study points to an answer by catching four planets at a stage most systems never show us: The awkward, ...
Webb telescope discovered a bizarre exoplanet with carbon atmosphere, no hydrogen, orbiting a super-dense spinning star.
Though the characteristics of K-type stars make them favourable targets in the study of habitability, they haven't received ...
This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...
Surprised astronomers just discovered a world that blurs the line between planet and stellar remnant, hiding in a system ...
What planet is most like Earth? Reseachers have identified several exoplanets similar to our planet, but none that are an ...
A new survey maps nearby K-type stars and shows why these long-lived, stable stars are important targets in the search for ...
Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet – a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system – using a technique known as ‘transit timing variation’. In research ...
What can carbon dioxide in an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international ...
