What is the weather like on water-rich exoplanets? This is something a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to shed light on as a team of researchers conducted laboratory experiments to ...
Exoplanet science has entered an exciting new phase with the development of the EXCITE mission, a groundbreaking project designed to enhance our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres. Unlike ...
October 23, 2023, Mountain View, CA — In a new study published in the Astronomical Journal, researchers used the known population of exoplanets and extrapolated to the much larger, unknown population ...
Astronomers have discovered yet another exoplanet to add to their growing list of other worlds that exist outside of our solar system. While thirty years ago, nobody knew if exoplanets existed, ...
There are hundreds of millions of planets around other stars in our Milky Way galaxy that may be habitable, argues a new research paper. These exoplanets (planets orbiting a star other than our sun) ...
Astronomers have produced the first-ever three-dimensional map of a planet outside our solar system — WASP-18b — marking a major leap forward in exoplanet research. Using the James Webb Space ...
A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...
A new study expands the search for life beyond our solar system by indicating that 17 exoplanets (worlds outside our solar system) could have oceans of liquid water, an essential ingredient for life, ...
The Kepler Space Telescope was retired in 2018 after a nine-year mission that saw it discover an incredible 2,600 confirmed exoplanets, kicking off the modern era of exoplanet research. But now there ...
Like many Ph.D. students, Attila Varga’s professional pursuits include being a lead author on a published paper. But, getting his research featured on the front page of NASA’s website and in news ...
A new study leverages the NASA Exoplanet Archive and planetary system simulations to make narrowband SETI searches more efficient. October 23, 2023, Mountain View, CA -- In a new study published in ...
