Planets near stars could surprisingly form water, study turns old theories on head
A team of researchers has demonstrated a new way in which sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets could produce a great deal of water.
This discovery is out of this world. For the first time since its operations began in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a direct image, published by the journal Nature, of a new ...
Child psychologists tell us that around the age of five or six, children begin to seriously contemplate the world around them. It’s a glorious moment every parent recognizes—when young minds start to ...
Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...
In the search for extraterrestrial life, the presence of water is a key signature of possible habitability. Identifying why ...
No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...
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 ...
Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.
