A new study could explain the ‘missing’ exoplanets between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Some exoplanets seem to be losing their atmospheres and shrinking. In a new…
A team of astronomers used recent observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope to study the atmosphere of the nearby exoplanet WASP-107 b. Peering…
Cambridge researchers propose that comets could transport life’s building blocks to other planets, especially in ‘peas in a pod’ systems. Their findings suggest that these…
The detection of ammonia isotopologues in a brown dwarf by the James Webb Space Telescope offers groundbreaking insights into the formation of gas giants and…
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected 540 planetary-mass objects, believed to be rogue planets, in the Orion Nebula and Trapezium Cluster. It appears that…
Things may not have ended well for dinosaurs on Earth, but Cornell University astronomers say the “light fingerprint” of the conditions that enabled them to…
NASA’s Kepler telescope data has unveiled a new system called Kepler-385 with seven hot, large planets that orbit a star slightly larger and hotter than…
Afterglow of an explosive collision between giant planets may have been detected in a far-off star system. The afterglow of a massive collision between two…
Flakes of silica “snow” fill the skies of puffy, searing-hot exoplanet WASP-17 b. Catching a glimpse of one of the most common and familiar minerals…
A newly discovered binary celestial system could advance our understanding of planet and star evolution under extreme conditions. The search for exoplanets – planets that…
Researchers observed two ice giant exoplanets colliding around a sun-like star, causing an intense burst of light and dust. This discovery, made by an international…
Study reveals how magma oceans may affect the evolution of hot exoplanets. Lava worlds, massive exoplanets home to sparkling skies and roiling volcanic seas called…
Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope shed light on the TRAPPIST-1 solar system, particularly planet TRAPPIST-1 b. The study emphasized the star’s substantial influence…
Astronomers have made breakthroughs in studying the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system, emphasizing the role of stellar contamination and exploring the potential atmospheres of TRAPPIST-1 b. Astronomers…
The study employs a new code to test the abilities of the next generation of telescopes. As the next generation of giant, high-powered observatories starts…
Data hints at exoplanet possessing possible liquid ocean surface. Carbon-bearing molecules have been discovered in the atmosphere of the habitable zone exoplanet K2-18 b by…
Using TESS, scientists identified two long-period exoplanets, TOI-4600 b and c. These discoveries open new research avenues in understanding exoplanets, and the findings emphasize the…
