NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been used to shed new light on the exoplanet, GJ 1214 b, which is more than eight times ...

The exoplanet, known as GJ 1214 b, was detected by the Hubble Space Telescope and dubbed a "waterworld" by the science ...

Discover how NASA’s James Webb Telescope unveiled GJ 1214 b, an exoplanet possibly rich in water vapour and hidden beneath ...

The exoplanet GJ 1214 b was a puzzle for more than a decade ... Speculations exist that GJ 1214 b could be a “water world,” a planet circled by vast oceans or a dense and heavily water-saturated ...

Find exoplanet interior structure error (exopie), given mass and radius of the planet. The methodology is described in Plotnykov & Valencia (2024) and is based on the ...

NASA is set to launch its latest mission, Pandora, in 2025 to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) oversubscribed, Pandora will play a crucial ...

"Temperamental" stars that brighten and dim over a matter of hours or days may be distorting our view of thousands of distant planets, suggests a new study led by UCL researchers. Most of the ...

This Collection highlights the results from the Early Science Release programme of the JWST telescope focused on transiting hot giant exoplanets. With its extended wavelength range and its ...

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 ...

Since the discovery of the first planet outside the solar system in the mid-1990s, the catalog of extrasolar planets, or "exoplanets," has grown to over 5,000 entries. Many of these exoplanets are ...

The team behind this research reached this conclusion by studying 20 extrasolar planets or "exoplanets" as they crossed, or "transited," the faces of their parent stars using the Hubble Space ...

Supersonic winds on this exoplanet, designated WASP-127b, travel at a mind-bending 5.5 miles per second (9 kilometers per second). The speed of sound on Earth is roughly 0.21 miles per second (0. ...
