An "extra exceptional" Tatooine-like exoplanet, orbiting two suns, has been discovered. Astronomers say the "huge" new world ...

"We reported hints of methane, but the question is, 'is the methane attributable to molecules in the atmosphere of the planet ...

A new gas giant world discovered by citizen scientists using data from NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS is cool, literally and figuratively. This makes TOI-4465 b a rare case of a giant planet ...

We have a couple of techniques that allow us to infer the presence of an exoplanet based on its effects on the light coming from its host star. But there’s an alternative approach that sometimes works ...

Astronomers observing exoplanet GJ 3470 b saw evidence of water, carbon dioxide, methane and sulfur dioxide. Astronomers hope the discovery of this exoplanet's sulfurous atmosphere will advance our ...

Some minerals in lava could suggest water is nearby. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. One way to find water worlds beyond our ...

Exomoons represent a crucial missing puzzle piece in our efforts to understand extrasolar planetary systems. To address this deficiency, we here describe an exomoon survey of 70 cool, giant transiting ...

The Subaru Telescope has notched its first major discoveries with a one-two punch that captures both ends of the planetary spectrum, a massive exoplanet and a so-called failed star. Together, these ...

A radio signal has been detected, pointing to the possible existence of a magnetic field on YZ Ceti b, an exoplanet 12 ...

These days, researchers commonly discover exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. But sometimes there’s a special discovery, like an exoplanet right in our backyard — and that’s the case with ...

Astronomers have identified four exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star, a red dwarf star just 6 light-years away from Earth. No, really, this time it’s for real! We have to emphasize this because ...

The sulfur-laden atmosphere discovered on gaseous exoplanet GJ 3470 b, show here in an illustration orbiting its star in the constellation Cancer, could help researchers figure out how it (and similar ...
