In a discovery that's fit for a movie, Northwestern University astronomers have directly imaged a Tatooine-like exoplanet, orbiting two suns. While obtaining an image of a planet beyond our solar ...

Even the best telescopes can’t see exoplanets. It’s all about watching for jiggly stars, blue shifts, and transits.

Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaiʻi have discovered a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars.

Astronomers have discovered icy rocks in the outer solar system that seem to defy the laws of physics, raising questions about the existence of a ninth planet. This video delves into the research led ...

An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University of Galway, has hailed the "remarkable discovery" of a newly detected planet, WISPIT 2b. Estimated to be just five ...

On April 18, scientists announce the discovery of three Earth-like planets potentially suited for life. Kepler-62e, Kepler-62f, and Kepler-69c are three unique examples among the total 122 confirmed ...

Hot Jupiters rank among the strangest planets astronomers have ever found. They are gas giants as massive as Jupiter, yet they race around their stars in just a few days. Since the first such world ...

There are roughly 2.5 million known species on the planet, but scientists estimate that's only a fraction of the biodiversity on Earth. A new study shows we're finding new species like never before.

Using a powerful combination of space-based measurements and Subaru’s advanced imaging, astronomers have discovered two rare companions, one of which enables a key test for NASA’s Roman Space ...

An international team of scientists, including researchers at Penn State, dubbed the exoplanet, named GJ 251 c, a “super-Earth” as data suggest it has a rocky composition similar to Earth and is ...

In 2015, a team of researchers from the University of Arizona caught imagery of a planet in the early stages of its formation. To date, scientists have catalogued 5,989 exoplanets, but most of them ...
