New connections discovered between the Sun's photosphere and CI chondrites meteorites, providing clues about the origin of materials.
Four small, newly discovered worlds are less than six light-years away from Earth, and their discovery reinforces a cautionary tale from planet hunting’s prehistory ...
The HR 8799 system, 130 light years from Earth, is only 30 million years old -- just a baby compared to our solar system's 4.6 billion years.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was recently used to capture direct images of four Saturn-like exoplanets in a solar system 130 light-years away.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...
New James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images show the first carbon dioxide-containing planet discovered outside of Earth’s ...
The Solar System continues to surprise us day after day and its presence in terms of dominance and expansion goes far beyond what we thought. And indeed, a long way from Neptune an ...
For years, astronomers have searched the cosmos for planets capable of supporting life. Most efforts focus on the "habitable zone," the region around a star where a planet could have liquid water. But ...
NASA's Webb telescope has captured images of multiple planets in a nearby star system, confirming that Webb can infer exoplanet atmospheres' chemistry.
The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed.
"We have observed giant gas planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, but in another solar system," explains the leader of this research on the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years away. The study ...
