A new AI model from the University of Bern predicts planetary systems likely to host Earth-like planets. It could boost the ...

Exoplanets, planets that orbit stars other than our sun, are likely more numerous than the stars themselves. In the last 30 years over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered. These worlds come in all ...

The rate of exoplanet discovery has since climbed rapidly ... Gravitational microlensing occurs when one star passes directly in front of a background star, as seen from Earth.

Two years ago it was said that a bloated star had swallowed an exoplanet for the first time. That was probably not true after ...

WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron. Now, astronomers ...

Named HD 20794 D, the newly discovered exoplanet orbits a star similar to the Sun, and researchers believe it may be able to sustain liquid water, which is vital for life, as we know it ...

Light curves are critical to exoplanet hunting as they show how the brightness of an object changes over time. However, in Kepler's background, multiple stars might be overlapping, causing a ...

Exoplanets have a remarkable diversity of planetary types, including a class known as ultrahot Jupiters. The similarity to Jupiter in the Solar System is that they are gas giants. However, they ...

Here’s how it works. Astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets that are similar to other worlds found in the Milky Way, but are unlike any in our own solar system. The two exoplanets ...

Data from the massive telescope also suggests the exoplanet, the name for a planet outside the solar system, may also have a surface covered in water and an atmosphere rich with hydrogen.

The PRIME telescope, operated by Osaka University and others in South Africa, which can potentially study the Milky Way's ...

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have delved into the atmosphere of the scorching hot exoplanet LTT 9779 b. Officially named Cuancoá, this Neptune-sized exoplanet was ...
