With this new survey, astronomers have gained a peek inside a stage of exoplanet system formation they have yet to fully ...

The Pandora satellite provides career training grounds while observing exoplanets.

Astronomers have spent the past decade cataloguing thousands of planets beyond the solar system, many of them falling into a ...

Green plants evolved under a yellow star. Change the star, and biology adapts. This video explains why plants on certain exoplanets would reflect red light instead. The result looks strange, but the ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.

Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and ...

:rocket: Could aliens be hiding on a frozen twin of Earth? NASA has just discovered a rocky exoplanet that’s remarkably ...

A new discovery suggests the possibility of an exomoon with an unprecedentedly large mass, thousands of times larger than any moon in our Solar System.

This shifts our entire perspective on what makes a planet “Earth-like.” Nature is far more creative than our own solar system suggests. The universe might be teeming with “magma-shielded” worlds that ...

The planet is one of the best worlds for follow-up studies to determine whether it could be habitable or not.

Learn about HD 137010 b, a cold Earth‑sized planet candidate that sits near the outer edge of its star’s habitable zone.

At the beginning of the exoplanet age, the goals were fairly simple. The first was to find as many of them as possible to flesh out our understanding of the exoplanet population. The second was to ...
