Named HD 20794 D, the newly discovered exoplanet orbits a star similar to the Sun, and researchers believe it may be able to ...

Due to the dimness and distance to its nearby red dwarf star – around three times the distance between Earth and the Sun – it’s believed the surface temperature of the exoplanet may be as low as minus ...

Astronomers discovered the exoplanet in 2016, a gas giant that’s slightly larger than Jupiter with a fraction of its mass, ...

Astronomers have found some pretty wild exoplanets. Some are balls of lava the temperature of hell, one is partially made of ...

Almost 30 years after the first planet outside our solar system was discovered, more than 7,000 other exoplanets have been identified. Now, it’s time to add another to the list. A team of researchers ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two ...

It zips around its host star in just four days, following a slightly skewed orbit. The exoplanet is also likely tidally locked to its star the same way the moon is to Earth — but perhaps its ...

An exoplanet about 800 light-years away is spilling its guts into space, and new observations with the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, have let astronomers read the entrails, astronomers report ...

The transit method is best at spotting exoplanets that orbit very close to their stars. To detect exoplanets that orbit further out, an upcoming NASA mission, the Roman Space Telescope ...

The AstroAI initiative, launched in 2023, uses AI to search for life on exoplanets, such as the exoplanet WASP-39 b imagined in this illustration. IMAGE NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI) Could ...
