A mysterious object has caused a long-lasting and extreme dimming of a distant star, but is this object a 'failed star' brown dwarf, or an exceptionally massive super-Jupiter exoplanet?

The planet is one of the best worlds for follow-up studies to determine whether it could be habitable or not.

Only 11.4 light-years away, two exoplanets have been detected around a neighboring star. One of them, Gl725Bc, is located in ...

Using HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs, astronomers have observed a nearby K-type star designated HD 176986, known to host two ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new ...

What if humanity could no longer live on Earth? Perhaps a catastrophic event forced us to find a new home among the stars.

A giant planet may be orbiting the nearest Sun-like star to Earth, and the discovery is sparking excitement across the astronomy world. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have detected ...

Using the European Space Agency’s Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered an exoplanet that may be triggering its host star to release massive ...

Are we alone in the universe? Are we alone in the universe? The search for exoplanets—planets orbiting stars beyond our solar system—is helping scientists get closer to an answer. From hot Jupiters to ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...
