The gas giants outside our solar system are not capable of hosting extraterrestrial life, but do offer clues in a lingering ...
Four small, newly discovered worlds are less than six light-years away from Earth, and their discovery reinforces a cautionary tale from planet hunting’s prehistory ...
Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...
This finding provides compelling evidence that the giant planets in HR 8799 formed through core accretion, a process similar ...
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was recently used to capture direct images of four Saturn-like exoplanets in a solar system 130 light-years away.
The four exoplanets orbit Barnard’s Star so closely that their years last only a few Earth days. They are probably rocky and, ...
Scientists have confirmed the existence of four small, rocky planets orbiting Barnard's Star — the second closest star system ...
The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed.
MAROON-X was specifically designed to detect tiny exoplanets orbiting red dwarf stars by detecting the minuscule ...
Researchers are using basalt spectra to study exoplanets and search for water with the James Webb Space Telescope. By ...
A fresh look at past data reveals that exoplanets with masses similar to Jupiter formed much sooner than previously thought, ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...
