Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system. The most likely reason (when combined with other observation) for seeing 1000 times more of ...

A tiny star is making big moves — whether its accomplice likes it or not. Astronomers have spotted a star just a fraction the mass of the Sun crashing through the Milky Way at an unbelievable pace.

The existence of the planet, named AT2021uey b, took years to verify. Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way. The exoplanet, a gas giant named AT2021uey b, orbits a low ...

When astronomers search for planets that could host liquid water on their surface, they start by looking at a star's habitable zone. Water is a key ingredient for life, and on a planet too close to ...

Recently, an exoplanet just a short 15 light-years from Earth was discovered, setting the scientific community abuzz. This newly found celestial body boasts a unique gravitational pull, a feature that ...

No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

NASA’s TESS satellite has identified a treasure trove of potential exoplanets, but those initial detections require detailed follow-ups to confirm. Now a network of citizen scientists has confirmed ...

This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...
