Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, ...

The rate of finding these distant worlds has recently increased, with astronomers scrambling to accommodate the data ...

Planets do not emit visible light like stars; they shine in the sky because they reflect sunlight. Exoplanets too reflect ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system. In 1995, a gas giant named 51 Pegasi b, which orbits a star similar to Earth's sun, etched its name in history as the first exoplanet ever ...

Three decades ago, in 1995, humankind discovered the first planet beyond the borders of our solar system. It's called 51 Pegasi b, and it spins around its main-sequence star (meaning not unlike our ...

How many planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, exist throughout the Milky Way Galaxy? While that might never be determined, NASA recently announced the total number of confirmed ...

NASA’s TESS has uncovered three Earth-sized planets orbiting twin suns, defying long-held beliefs that binary systems are too ...

The team of astronomers behind the find suggested it could help us better understand planet and moon formation in our solar system and beyond the Milky Way. The team was able to make the first-ever ...

Astronomers have yet to find irrefutable proof for any natural satellites of exoplanets—so-called exomoons—but as ...
