Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, only a select few show promise. Here we look at some of the most habitable ...

Astronomers have discovered nearly 6,000 planets beyond our own solar system. Here's how — and how we'll find even more.

The discovery of new exoplanets can help scientists understand how planets form and evolve. Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet -- a planet that orbits a star ...

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’.

Gaia, a mission designed to map stars, has accidentally become a planet hunter. Using precise astrometry, it detected stellar ...

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

In response to President Donald Trump's declaration of a "national energy emergency," the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

Marking yet another breakthrough from Ahmedabad, a team of scientists from the city's Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) has made a remarkable discovery, a massive exoplanet located outside our solar ...

NASA discovered five "ultra-short-period" exoplanets orbiting their stars in under 24 hours, defying speed limits and challenging current planetary formation theories. A gas giant that orbits its ...

Astronomers have discovered that the exoplanet WASP-121 b, located 900 light-years away, experiences extreme weather conditions, including powerful winds and liquid metal rain. The research was ...

"Even the strongest hurricanes in the solar system seem calm in comparison." WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron.
