NASA's Europa Clipper, en route to Jupiter’s moon Europa, captured infrared images of Mars during a gravity-assist flyby to ...

NASA scientists have sought to understand planet Jupiter, the gas giant whose mass is more than the rest of the planets in ...

In 2020, astronomers detected WD 1856+534 b, a gas giant that orbits a star 81 light-years from Earth. This exoplanet, which is roughly six times the mass of Jupiter (making it a "super-Jupiter"), was ...

At a frigid -125 degrees Fahrenheit (-87 degrees Celsius), WD 1856+534 b is the coldest planet ever directly observed, ...

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was suspected ...

WASP-12b is known as a "hot Jupiter" because it's about the size of our solar system's largest planet, yet orbits very close to its star. That close distance is also probably responsible for the ...

A new study released on Thursday describes a search for what are called "microlensing" events, where a planet acts as a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has investigated an exoplanet that’s super cool — literally. The huge planet, which is six ...

The auroras surrounding the north pole of our solar system's largest planet had some surprises in store when astronomers ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have directly detected the faint glow of a planet that’s colder than any ...

According to NASA, the aurora on Earth may last only a few minutes, but on Saturn, it can last for days. In the 2010s, aurora ...
