The exoplanet, WD 1856+534 b, was first spotted in 2020 and is twice as old as our solar system. The world is about the size of Jupiter but about six times more massive and much chillier ...

(Courtesy: ESO/L Calçada) The first strong evidence for an exoplanet with an orbit perpendicular to that of the binary system it orbits has been observed by astronomers in the UK and Portugal. Based ...

Exoplanet Fomalhaut b (also known as Dagon) disappeared before astronomers’ eyes after being detected multiple times. A new theory suggests the would-be planet was actually a cloud of debris ...

But not everyone agrees that it signals life. An illustration shows what exoplanet K2-18b might look like based on data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. K2-18b is 8.6 times as massive as ...

Back in 2020, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and several ground-based observatories detected a Jupiter-sized object transiting (passing in front of) the white dwarf every 1.4 ...

Astronomers have discovered a distant exoplanet with a tail that stretches over 5.5 million miles long. Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares / MIT illustration Astronomers have accidentally found a planet ...

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 ...

The exoplanet K2-18b is generating headlines because researchers announced what could be evidence of life on the planet. The JWST detected a pair of atmospheric chemicals that on Earth are ...

A research group from the USA has discovered an exoplanet that is losing so much material in its close orbit around its star that it is trailing a comet-like tail half an orbit long. This was ...

Astronomers are nearing a statistically significant finding that could confirm the potential signs of life detected on the distant exoplanet K2-18b are no accident. The team of astronomers ...

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 ...
