Exoplanets, planets that orbit stars other than our sun, are likely more numerous than the stars themselves. In the last 30 years over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered. These worlds come in all ...

TIDYE-1b, a 3 million-year-old exoplanet, orbits a young protostar with a tilted disk, challenging current planetary ...

An exoplanet has been discovered orbiting Barnard's star by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope. Barnard ...

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

A new study has identified an exoplanet that is just 3 million years old — around 1,500 times younger than Earth — alongside a misaligned protoplanetary disk that researchers cannot explain.

The exoplanet, Epsilon Indi Ab, is located 12 light-years away. That's trillions of miles, but right next door, cosmically ...

To date, over 5,500 exoplanets — planets that orbit stars other than the sun — have been discovered, and a large portion of those alien worlds have been observed via something called "the ...

Astronomers heading the SETI search for extraterrestrial intelligence predict their quest might first spark an encounter with ...

A "baby" exoplanet recently spotted relatively near to Earth is the youngest alien world ever seen, a new study suggests. Researchers say the rare sighting is linked to a mysteriously wonky ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected possible signs of gases released by volcanic activity on a distant exoplanet. Today, we know of more than 5,000 exoplanets ...

The moon is mostly basaltic," he said. "We're testing basaltic materials here on Earth to eventually elucidate the composition of exoplanets through the James Webb Space Telescope data." ...

And that’s exactly what scientists have been doing for decades: searching for exoplanets, worlds orbiting faraway stars. They’ve had tremendous success: So far, NASA’s official count of ...
