The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has notched another milestone, capturing a direct image of a distant, frigid planet in a solar system unlike our own, astronomers announced on June 10. The ...
If you think you've met the wildest exoplanet yet, you haven't learned about TOI-4507 b. Second, TOI-4507 b is on a nearly polar orbit; it swings around its star almost perfectly perpendicular to the ...
Gliese 1132 b is similar to Earth in a striking number of ways. Its radius is only slightly larger, as is its mass. Even its age — 4.5 billion years old — is similar to that of our planet. But this ...
WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - Scientists are tracking a large gas planet experiencing quite a quandary as it orbits extremely close to a young star - a predicament never previously observed. This ...
In a groundbreaking study, a new discovery about the exoplanet HIP 67522b has provided scientists with an unprecedented insight into how planets can influence their host stars. This observation builds ...
Some of the most promising places to look for extraterrestrials have remained, so far, mostly hidden from astronomers. Now a game-changing instrument called NIRPS (Near-Infrared Planet Searcher) is ...
