By tracing the corkscrew wobble of two stars as they move through the sky, the Gaia space mission has discovered one new ...

"The climate of this planet is extreme and nothing like that of Earth. The planet's dayside is so hot that elements typically ...

UC Irvine astronomers used a 3D global computer model to compare the climates of exoplanets in different stellar and orbital configurations. They found that a planet orbiting a white dwarf star would ...

The exoplanet is also likely tidally locked to its star the same way the moon is to Earth — but perhaps its biggest eccentric trait is that it is slightly larger than Jupiter, yet only 16% as massive, ...

If confirmed, the pair sets a new record for the fastest-moving exoplanet system, nearly double our solar system's speed through the Milky Way. The planetary system is thought to move at least 1.2 ...

Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, only a select few show promise. Here we look at some of the most habitable exoplanets ever discovered ranked through their similarity to Earth. The result ...

How would detecting methane help astronomers identify if exoplanets, or even exomoons, have life as we know it, or even as we ...

One of the largest exoplanets to be found orbiting a relatively low-mass star has been discovered, thanks to the way the planet's gravity drags its star around on its journey through space.
