Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a ...

In old measurement data, two US researchers found a star that appeared "completely crazy." Apparently, there was a ...

What does it look like two planets collide? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes ...

From the brightness variations of its host star, an exoplanet’s size and other properties can be determined. In order to avoid mistakes, the star’s magnetic field is decisive 700 light years away from ...

Based on new evidence from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, this illustration shows the exoplanet LHS 475 b. It is rocky and almost precisely the same size as Earth. The planet whips ...

Exoplanets—planets that orbit stars beyond our solar system—have transformed our understanding of the universe. Since the first confirmed discovery in the 1990s, more than 5,000 have been identified, ...

A light curve of 7.5- to 11.8-micron light captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) in March 2023 shows the decrease in brightness of the 55 Cancri system as the ...

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these ...

Exoplanet Watch is an involved project that requires a little bit of homework, but you could end up listed as a co-author in a NASA scientific publication. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on real astronomical observations now outperform astronomers in sifting through massive amounts of data. AI helps them to find new exploding stars, ...
