Since astronomers found the first planets outside our solar system in 1992 and the first planet around a sunlike star in 1995, scientists have sought the telltale glimmers, flickers and wobbles that ...

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 ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets around a young sun-like star known as TOI-6109. The newfound alien worlds are slightly larger ...

How will NASA's upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) mission differentiate Earth-sized exoplanets from other exoplanets, specifically Earth-sized exoplanets within the habitable zone, also ...

"The complexity of the exo-Neptunian landscape provides offers a unique window onto the processes involved in the formation and evolution of planetary systems." Astronomers have launched a new program ...

James Webb Space Telescope imagery of the Carina Nebula, Southern Ring Nebula and exoplanet WASP-96 b atmospheric data has ...

"Water on planets is much more limited than previously believed." Sub-Neptune planets, often billed as possible "water worlds," may be more desert than deep sea, according to a new study. For years, ...

The team of astronomers behind the find suggested it could help us better understand planet and moon formation in our solar system and beyond the Milky Way. The team was able to make the first-ever ...
