NASA’s TESS satellite has identified a treasure trove of potential exoplanets, but those initial detections require detailed follow-ups to confirm. Now a network of citizen scientists has confirmed ...

Artist's illustration of the exoplanet WASP-107 b based on transit observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope as well as other space- and ground-based telescopes, led by Matthew Murphy of the ...

Unexpected composition: New modeling indicates Uranus and Neptune may have rocky outer shells, challenging their classification as ice giants. Implications for science: A rock-rich makeup could ...

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 ...

14 Herculis c one of at least two gas giants – both significantly bigger than Jupiter – that have been observed orbiting a central star in an X-like pattern. Among the nearly 6,000 exoplanets so far ...

What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...

On Aug. 24, 2023, more than three decades after the first confirmation of planets beyond our own solar system, scientists announced the discovery of six new exoplanets, stretching that number to 5,502 ...

Astronomers have observed the atmosphere of a hot and uniquely inflated exoplanet using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Astronomers from the University of Arizona, along with an international group ...
