Exoplanet Beta Pictoris b can be seen moving around its star in this 17-year timelapse created using "AI-driven ...

Astronomers have discovered nearly 6,000 planets beyond our own solar system. Here's how — and how we'll find even more.

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appears to have made the first detection of ammonia on an exoplanet (a world ...

When the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995, Sara Seager and Dave Charbonneau were graduate students at Harvard. Both were studying topics totally unrelated to planets orbiting distant stars.

This is why follow up observations are so important to confirm exoplanet detections ... the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). They processed and ...

"Even the strongest hurricanes in the solar system seem calm in comparison." WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron.

HWO will use a combination of the direct imaging method to find the exoplanets and its spectroscopy instruments to analyze their respective atmospheres for biosignatures, specifically oxygen and ...

Astronomers have detected a relatively close exoplanet orbiting in the habitable zone of its star, where temperatures are just right to support liquid water on the surface. As detailed in a new study ...

The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa ...
