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 ...

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the ...

The record-breaking winds are circling the nearby "puffy" exoplanet WASP-127b, and are traveling six times faster than the ...

The largest exoplanet in the known universe? With twice the radius of Jupiter, the exoplanet HAT-P-67 b may be the largest ...

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, ...

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.

Up to one-third of the exoplanets discovered so far are hot ... making it 1.9 times the width of the solar system's largest planet. It is so close to its star that it takes just 1.3 Earth days ...
