True, Blue Planet Found Orbiting Nearby Star. July 11, 2013 2:13 PM ET. By . Scott Neuman Move over, Earth. There's another blue planet in town — or at least in our corner of the Milky Way.

This artist’s concept shows exoplanet HD 189733b orbiting its yellow-orange star, HD 189733. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope measured the actual visible-light color of the planet, which is deep ...

From Nature magazine. A navy-blue world orbiting a faraway star is the first exoplanet to have its colour directly measured. Discovered in 2005, HD 189733 b is one of the best-studied planets ...

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have deduced the actual visible-light color of a planet orbiting another star 63 light-years away. If seen directly the planet, known as HD 189733b ...

The James Webb telescope has made another stunning discovery -- this time of a massive planet that could potentially sustain ...

The exoplanet, dubbed WASP-189 b, orbits closely around a rapidly spinning blue star. The distant planet’s surface is so hot, the ESA says, that it could melt iron into gas.

NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's ...

Our corner of the galaxy teems with alien worlds. In the 25 years since the discovery of the first planets beyond our solar system, astronomers have found more than 3,600 worlds orbiting other stars.

A giant world discovered around a tiny star is putting a new spin on how planets form. Astronomers say they’ve found a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a star that’s a mere 12% the mass of our sun.

But whether this holds for planets orbiting A-type stars is not known because those planets are challenging to detect. And an A-type star is a different animal from smaller F, G, K and M dwarfs.
