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.

Scientists harnessing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

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

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

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 ...

This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...
