Scientists have discovered a rare six-planet system, HD 110067, where all planets orbit their star in perfect mathematical ...

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is slated to be the next Great Observatory for the world. Its main focus has been ...

Scientists have used data from NASA's retired planet-hunting space telescope 'Kepler' to discover that small and large worlds have very different upbringings. The team found that larger planets on non ...

Scientists using a NASA space telescope have discovered a tantalizing world. It's about the size of Earth, sits remarkably close to our solar system, and could be comfortable for life as we know it.

Studying the orbits of thousands of exoplanets shows that large planets tend to have elliptical orbits, while smaller planets tend to have more circular orbits. This split coincides with several other ...

Four hundred light-years away, a world twice the size of Jupiter glows like a forge. Now, thanks to the James Webb Space ...

NASA's forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Telescope will hunt for "cosmic orphans," starless planets that might even outnumber their orbiting counterparts in our galaxy. When you purchase through links on ...

The exoplanet Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star. The potentially habitable planet could be a good place to search for ...

The mixture of gasses measured in exoplanet K2-18 b suggests it may have a global ocean beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere—and astronomers even spotted a tantalizing, though unconfirmed, sign of life.

NASA's planet-hunting TESS mission has only been surveying the sky since July, but it's already making incredible discoveries. In January, three exoplanet discoveries were connected to the initial ...

Scientists thought they saw a distant star swallow a planet for the first time ever. But new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest something very different, but equally rare, may ...

Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System, completing a rotation in less than 10 hours. This rapid spin ...
