A team of researchers has demonstrated a new way in which sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets could produce a great deal of water.
Where will we first find life beyond Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astronomical Journal hopes to ...
Astronomers have broken new ground in the field of exoplanet research by creating the first-ever 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. The subject of this pioneering study, WASP-121b, has revealed a ...
A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.
Using JWST, scientists mapped WASP-18b’s atmosphere in 3D, revealing blazing regions where water molecules split apart.
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 impossible.
Astronomers have just discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet around SPECULOOS-3, an 'ultracool dwarf' star as small as Jupiter, twice as cold as our Sun, and located 55 light-years from Earth. After ...
Scientists have detected the first direct evidence of a coronal mass ejection from a star beyond our Sun, specifically the M dwarf StKM1-1262. This ma ...
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers have detected a new exoplanet orbiting a bright K-type star known as TOI-283. The newfound alien world, ...
What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...
