Exoplanet Gj 504 b was found using the Strategic Explorations of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru (SEEDS) Project ...
Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...
Astronomers have spotted a giant exoplanet, named TOI-6894b ... “We did not expect planets like TOI-6894b to be able to form around stars this low-mass. This discovery will be a cornerstone for ...
A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly ...
An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to scientists. The planet, called WD 1856+534 b, is a gas giant exoplanet the size of ...
Through the combination of theoretical population synthesis studies like the Generation III Bern Model (Emsenhuber et al., 2021) and observational surveys from the Kepler (Fabrycky et al., 2014) and ...
A paper published in 2023 spurred discussion about whether life exists on an exoplanet named K2-18b. Two years later, the puzzle continues — and some scientists are expressing doubt.
Scientists made an exciting -- and pungent -- announcement about a nearby exoplanet this week, finding that a planetary body with a likeness to Jupiter smells of rotten eggs.

On many exoplanets, the best clue that life is present may be a purple hue. ... an Earth-like environment with 70% ocean and 30% land, a 100% ocean world, ...
For instance, while the ocean Arrakis we modelled would be very habitable, most of the land is in the polar regions which are under snow year-round – so the actual amount of inhabitable land is ...
