How many exoplanets orbit two stars? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to ...

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.

Currently, only about 1% of stars host giant planets or brown dwarfs that our telescopes can photograph directly. This ...

An “extra exceptional” Tatooine-like exoplanet, orbiting two suns, has been discovered. Astronomers say the “huge” new world ...

The exoplanet, discovered by Northwestern University astronomers, orbits two suns exactly like Luke Skywalker's fictional ...

Scientists harnessing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

Analysis of early direct images from James Webb telescope show immense dust clouds on brown dwarf that lead to a blurring of ...

Astronomers are uncovering distant worlds beyond our solar system using ingenious indirect methods like observing stellar ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

Astronomers using the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile have now obtained the first direct confirmation of an exoplanet discovered by radial velocity. As the planet “Beta Pictoris c” ...

No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...
