Recent astronomical observations have revealed a startling reality: aging stars are far more destructive to their orbiting ...

Researchers present strong evidence for a planet circling two brown dwarfs on a near polar path. The orbit is tilted almost ...

An international team of astronomers has identified a rare, potentially habitable super-Earth just 19.5 light-years from ...

Scientists found two Earth-sized planets and a third candidate orbiting a nearby double star system, TOI-2267.

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit ...

The newly discovered exoplanet HD 135344 Ab can be seen as a yellow dot on the right side of the image. It was measured in 2019 (2x), 2021, and 2022. The empty purple circle with the star in the ...

This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...

A team of scientists has found a new planet which orbits the wrong way around its host star. The planet, named WASP-17, and orbiting a star 1000 light years away, was found by the UK’s WASP project in ...

About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 ...

At a young age, we're told how the sun warms Earth and makes life possible. That idea sticks with most of us for life. But ...

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 ...
