Researchers developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see exoplanets that are normally obscured by light from their parent stars. The images show theoretical, experimental and ...

"One of the most exciting prospects in exoplanet science today is discovering the origin and makeup of sub-Neptunes, which are high-occurrence planets that have no solar system analog," the study ...

Beyond our solar system, sub-Neptunes — gassy planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune — reign as the most common type of exoplanet observed in our galaxy. Despite their prevalence ...

Here's everything to know about the discovery, the exoplanet and the search for life in the cosmos. A strong possibility exists that extraterrestrial life can be found on a distant exoplanet known ...
