Scientists have gotten a never-before-seen look at an area around a large exoplanet 625 light-years away where moons like the one orbiting Earth could potentially form. "Moons likely outnumber planets ...

In a breakthrough for exoplanet science, astronomers have discovered three Earth-sized planets orbiting both stars in a ...

What new methods can be employed to help astronomers distinguish the light from an exoplanet and its host star so the former's atmosphere can be better explored? This is what a recent study accepted ...

With the discovery of ever more exoplanets—over 6,000 now—scientists, of course, want to know if they are habitable for life. (At least, life as we know it.) But assessing habitability is a difficult ...

Space scientists look back on 30 years of exoplanet discoveries — from rows of massive ‘super-Earths‘ to worlds with perfectly synchronized orbits. It was also the start of a whirlwind of discovery.

NASA launched an exoplanet-hunting experiment Oct. 1 despite the government shutdown. After the mission's end on Oct. 2, news ...
