The strangest part of the TOI-201 system is not that it holds three very different worlds. It is that astronomers can ...

A giant planet circling a nearby star has given astronomers a rare look at what a colder, more Jupiter-like world can be like ...

Just decades after the first exoplanets were identified, our database of the distant worlds—monitored by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute—has breached a new threshold. Now, astronomers have ...

An artist's interpretation of TOI 4633 c, a Neptune-like exoplanet found orbiting the habitable zone of a sunlike star. The system contains a second star (right) and may also host another exoplanet ...

This artist's concept visualizes a super-Neptune world orbiting a low-mass star near the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists recently discovered such a system that may break the current record ...

An exoplanet the size of Jupiter has long intrigued astronomers because of its scorching temperatures, screaming winds and sideways rain made of glass. Now, data from the James Webb Space Telescope ...

The discovery of new exoplanets can help scientists understand how planets form and evolve. Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet -- a planet that orbits a star outside of ...

New discoveries and fresh looks at familiar worlds show how far exoplanet science has come — and how much remains unknown.

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 ...
