However, scientists would have to fly to an exoplanet to produce the so-called "super-diamond". To create BC8, an eight-atom body-centered cubic crystal exhibiting a 30% greater resistance to ...

But some exoplanets are so unique that they almost defy shorthand. There's an exoplanet where molten diamond raindrops are flung from the sky by a howling maelstrom whose winds move at thousands ...

"I do not believe we yet have convincing evidence of the presence of DMS in K2-18b's atmosphere." In 2023, debate erupted in the astronomy community about whether life could exist on an exoplanet ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A Jupiter-like exoplanet, GJ 2126 b, has been detected orbiting an M-dwarf star using the radial velocity method with the HARPS spectrograph. This exoplanet has ...

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.

Exoplanet LTT9779 b, which orbits a star about 262 light-years from Earth, is so reflective it acts almost like a mirror, the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a press release. This planet's hot ...

Exoplanets come in extreme forms—lava spheres, diamond cores, and even planets that rain molten iron—but some are eerily Earth-like and sit in their star’s habitable zone. Traditionally ...
