A rogue planet was found in Hubble data using Einstein’s microlensing; event lasted 8 hrs and no host star was detected.

Scientists are turning to simulations and experiments to understand how life-indicating molecules behave, so we might know ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a rare, retrograde-orbiting planet in a tight binary star system. Most stars throughout the Universe are part of binary or multiple star systems. In these ...

New observations are the first direct evidence of planets influencing their stars rather than just passively orbiting them ...

Researchers studied the L 98-59 system and confirmed five rocky planets. One is in the habitable zone and may support liquid water.

Lava planets may sound like science fiction, but they're very real for astrophysics professor Dr. Lisa Dang, who is studying ...

Signs of life on K2-18 b are revisited as a new NASA-led study finds no conclusive evidence for dimethyl sulfide, tempering ...

Modelling suggests that data collected by JWST will be able to distinguish between planets that are molten to the core and ...

"This discovery was partly serendipity! But, we believe there are many more such opportunities hidden in Hubble data." ...

Astronomers have recently discovered a massive exoplanet, Kepler-139f, hidden within a known star system. This Neptune-sized ...

L 98-59 f, an "exoplanet", lives in what’s called the star’s "habitable", temperate or "Goldilocks zone" — that’s the sweet ...

The stellar companion may help explain why the brightness of Betelgeuse, the red supergiant, is open to so much variation.
