The exoplanet is believed to be one of the farthest known from Earth. This artist's map of the Milky Way shows the location of one of the farthest known exoplanets, lying 13,000 light-years away. Most ...

Using HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs, astronomers have observed a nearby K-type star designated HD 176986, known to host two ...

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 ...

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet—a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In our solar system, Earth is one of but eight planets – nine, if you really want to count Pluto – and the only one remotely ...

Irvine, Calif., July 14, 2025 — In new research, University of California, Irvine astronomers describe how more than 200 known exoplanets are likely much larger than previously thought. It’s a finding ...

A recent discovery of a “newborn” exoplanet could help scientists explain how our own home world came to be. In a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, astronomers describe the youngest ...

What can carbon dioxide in an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international ...

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet – a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system – using a technique known as ‘transit timing variation’. In research ...

Scientists have discovered over 6,000 planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA's retired Kepler ...

Could white dwarf stars host habitable exoplanets that might support life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of ...
