Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and elsewhere, have discovered two new exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars. The ...
Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, modelling and observational communities, will help to interpret the astronomical ...
A planet recently scored 0.836 on the habitability index, slightly higher than Earth, using factors like orbit shape, ...
A special exemption allowed a NASA-funded weather balloon to launch as planned Oct. 1, despite the ongoing government shutdown that began that day. But news about the balloon, and an exoplanet-hunting ...
About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 b ushered in a new era of exoplanet research.
PLATO needs all the solar power it can get to find little, Earth-sized planets. Europe's next planet-hunting spacecraft just spread its "wings" in preparation for launch. PLATO's twin solar panels, ...

The ice giants remain some of the most interesting places to explore in the solar system. Uranus in particular has drawn a lot of interest lately, especially after the 2022 Decadal Survey from the ...
Astronomers have yet to find irrefutable proof for any natural satellites of exoplanets—so-called exomoons—but as circumstantial evidence accumulates and the list of candidates grows, the discovery of ...
