Only 11.4 light-years away, two exoplanets have been detected around a neighboring star. One of them, Gl725Bc, is located in ...

With this new survey, astronomers have gained a peek inside a stage of exoplanet system formation they have yet to fully ...

An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering previously undetectable stellar and exoplanetary signals hidden within ...

Astronomers have discovered a relatively cool and small exoplanet orbiting a nearby star, with a “year” of several months. The find offers a rare opportunity to study planets and solar systems like ...

The balloon-based EXCITE mission measures infrared phase curves of hot Jupiter exoplanets to map temperature and atmospheric composition from long-duration Antarctic flights.

This discovery is out of this world. For the first time since its operations began in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a direct image, published by the journal Nature, of a new ...

Of the 6,000 exoplanets known, a very thin slice of them are in the geometry required to perform a deceitfully simple experiment: observe a planet cross its star and read the atmospheric chemistry ...

These days, researchers commonly discover exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. But sometimes there’s a special discovery, like an exoplanet right in our backyard — and that’s the case with ...

In the April 2011 issue, Ray Villard wrote about the steps in the search for planets similar to Earth. First, astronomers need to find worlds similar in size that are orbiting within the star’s ...

Image of the disk around the star TWA 7 recorded using ESO’s Very Large Telescope’s SPHERE instrument. The image captured with JWST’s MIRI instrument is overlayed. We can clearly see the empty area ...
