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 ...

Using NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft, TESS, astronomers and citizen scientists have discovered a record-breaking system of three tightly bound stars that could fit between the sun and Mercury.

Why is it important to search for exoplanets in triple star systems and how many can we find there? This is what a recent study accepted by Astrophysics & Space Science hopes to address after a ...

Matthews et al. overcame these difficulties by using MIRI to detect mid-infrared radiation from what could be the coldest and oldest exoplanet ever imaged. The age range of its star, ε Indi A ...

Astronomers have discovered a new feature in the distribution of planets beyond the solar system, and this finding could help us understand the dynamics that determine the formation of exoplanets ...

"We don't have anything like it in our own solar system. It is unique, even among the exoplanet population." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered that a "puffy ...

Many of the Sun’s nearest neighbors in space are brown dwarfs! But these objects are faint and hard to find, so the smallest ...

PARIS - A rare exoplanet smaller than Earth has been discovered orbiting one of the closest stars to the sun, although its surface is far too hot to sustain life, astronomers said on Oct 1.

Scientists plan to start with LTT 1445 Ac and GJ 3929 b, and though those exoplanets might not be household names, they are tantalizing subjects, relatively near Earth in space. Each was ...

Many exoplanet scientists believe if life exists on other worlds, humanity will likely find evidence on a rocky world orbiting a red dwarf star. Credit: NASA / JPL / Ames Research Center / Daniel ...

"Iron Winds and Metal Rain" may be an awesome title for an album by a heavy metal band, but it's also a fairly accurate weather prediction for a hellish exoplanet called WASP-76b. The discovery of ...
