A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

Our search for exoplanets is focused on Milky Way stars. It's been successful, with more than 6,000 detected so far.

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph—an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source—that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent ...

Astronomers have identified four exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star, a red dwarf star just 6 light-years away from Earth. No, really, this time it’s for real! We have to emphasize this because ...
