Astronomers have spotted a monster-sized planet that could be up to ten times the size of Jupiter emerging from the stellar fog surrounding a young star. Prior observations of the roughly 13 ...

Astronomers are investigating a strange class of exoplanets known as eccentric warm Jupiters — massive gas giants that orbit their stars in unexpected, elongated paths. Unlike their close-orbiting ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...

Recent advances in astronomical observations have found a significant number of extrasolar planets that can sustain surface water, and the search for extraterrestrial life on such planets is gaining ...

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 ...
