The existence of the planet, named AT2021uey b, took years to verify. Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way. The exoplanet, a gas giant named AT2021uey b, orbits a low ...
On Aug. 24, 2023, more than three decades after the first confirmation of planets beyond our own solar system, scientists announced the discovery of six new exoplanets, stretching that number to 5,502 ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has directly observed the key chemical of carbon dioxide in planets outside of our solar system for the first time, scientists announced Monday. The gas giants are not ...
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 ...
Scientists using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovered an exoplanet, which NASA defines as “any planet beyond our solar system.” What's False However, the “strange signals” ...
Just a few decades ago, when we glanced skyward, we didn't know for certain whether any star visible to the naked eye hosts planets like our own. Now, NASA scientists estimate that, on average, there ...
As if its deadly weather wasn't bad enough, scientists this week said a Jupiter-sized planet 64 light-years from Earth reeks of rotten eggs. HD 189733 b is an exoplanet, which means it's located ...
A new Tatooine-like planet outside the solar system may orbit two failed stars, scientists reported Wednesday. Located about 120 light years away, the exoplanet appears to take an unusual path around ...

An exoplanet is what we call planets that exist outside of our own solar system. The first one was discovered in 1992, but as we get more powerful and precise telescopes and instruments, scientists ...
Many stars have planets orbiting them. Several bright stars near Earth have confirmed planets, some potentially large gas giants. Some of these planets orbit their stars at distances similar to ...
