In the last 30 years over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered. These worlds come in all sizes, orbital periods, and around all different types of stars. These changing environments will have a ...
Found in 2014, Kepler-421b is an interesting exoplanet 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Lyra. So interesting is it ...
Planet demographics reveal a puzzling lack of worlds in a certain size range throughout the galaxy F or centuries our solar ...
Scientists are discovering more exoplanets, but they’re still figuring out how these planets form. Jupiter-like exoplanets ...
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 ...
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.
Astronomers have peered into an alien planet's atmosphere and found extreme weather unlike anything in the solar system.
"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.
Exoplanet LTT9779 b, which orbits a star about 262 light-years from Earth, is so reflective it acts almost like a mirror, the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a press release. This planet's hot ...
Israeli astronomers report the detection of a new Jupiter-like exoplanet using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet ...
The scientists of the @PRLAhmedabad, have discovered a new #Exoplanet, TOI-6038A b, a dense sub-Saturn size with a mass of 78.5 Earth masses and a radius of 6.41 Earth radii in a wide binary system, ...
Astronomers have identified a remarkable exoplanet, GJ 1214 b, nicknamed Enaiposha, which has challenged previous planetary classifications. Situated approximately 47 light-years from Earth ...
