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 ...

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre carbon-rich planet orbiting a neutron star, PSR J2322-2650b, with soot clouds and ...

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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has notched another milestone, capturing a direct image of a distant, frigid planet in a solar system unlike our own, astronomers announced on June 10. The ...

Thirty years ago, astronomers didn’t know if planets around other stars were common. Today, NASA says we’ve confirmed 6,000 exoplanets — a staggering number considering the first definitive discovery ...

Astronomers are scratching their heads at the odd chemistry, which hints at soot clouds and possibly diamond formation deep ...

Astronomers have discovered a carbon-rich exoplanet with a bizarre atmosphere and shape, orbiting a neutron star under extreme conditions that challenge current models of planetary formation. Scientis ...

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 ...

Piette said an atmosphere would allow gases like water vapor to absorb some wavelengths of light, keeping the telescope's ...

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 ...
