"There are still many things related to planetary formation and the early evolution of young planetary systems that we don't ...

Problem is, even nearby earth-like planets are extremely difficult to detect. As a result, most of the extrasolar planets thus far detected are much bigger than tiny earths. They are extrasolar ...

Planets with suns like Wolf 359 are subject to huge blasts of radiation that raise questions about their long-term ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two ...

The planet is crumbling so fast due to bombardment from its star that it is losing a "moon's worth" of matter every million years. Soon, it is doomed to vanish entirely. The extrasolar planet ...

The discovery of two new planets beyond our solar system by a team of astronomers from The University of Warwick and the ...

Astronomers discovered supersonic winds on a giant gas planet located over 500 light-years from Earth. In a study released ...

Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet. Reaching speeds up to 33,000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jet-stream of its kind ever ...

New observational data from the James Webb Space Telescope and simulation models have confirmed a new type of planet unlike ...

F or years, scientists have speculated about the nature of water on exoplanets, especially on super-Earths and sub-Neptunes — planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune. The prevailing ...

Scientists have found more than 100 Jovian planets around other stars. The majority of the extrasolar Jovian planets that have been discovered so far are closer to their stars than the Jovian ...

Microlensing is a powerful astronomical technique used to detect exoplanets—planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. This method relies on the gravitational lensing effect, where the ...
