This April, news reports linked the stinky gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet called K2-18b to possible life on it. The reports, prompted by work led by astronomer ...

TOI-270 d is an exoplanet discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). TESS uses a transit method to discover new ...

We can thank the tireless work of researchers and the data collected by missions like the now retired Kepler Space Telescope and the currently operating Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ...

Life on a planet other than Earth still needs to be confirmed. But scientists are now studying nearly 6,000 known exoplanets, planets outside our solar system, that could support life. The most ...

Doubts over signs of alien life on exoplanet K2-18b are rising: 'This is evidence of the scientific process at work' — This rare exoplanet system has 6 'sub-Neptunes' with mathematically perfect ...

Beyond our solar system, sub-Neptunes — gassy planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune — reign as the most common type of exoplanet ... before NASA’s Kepler space telescope ...

"One of the most exciting prospects in exoplanet science today is discovering ... which were first identified by NASA's pioneering Kepler space telescope. Before JWST, attempts to study the ...

First discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope ... Webb Space Telescope has revealed that at least one sub-Neptune exoplanet—TOI-421 b—is clear and ready to show off its secrets.

Unlike the James Webb Space Telescope's views of other sub-Neptune exoplanets' atmospheres, its look at TOI-421 b was clear. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Dani Player illustration A sweltering planet ...
