A new device uses quantum optics to filter out starlight in real time — bringing scientists closer to directly observing ...

"Until we can separate these signals more clearly, we have to be especially careful not to misinterpret them as signs of life ...

This applies to an exoplanet because, if it comes between Earth and a distant background source, it will act as a lens for that source's light. Because the mass of intervening planets is small ...

This made it possible to capture an image of the exoplanet without the star. "Our coronagraph directly captures an image of the exoplanet, as opposed to measuring only the quantity of light from ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new giant exoplanet around an M-dwarf star (GEMS). The ...

Astronomers have discovered yet another exoplanet to add to their growing ... that's doing that is the Earth being volcanically active." Without volcanoes, Kane said, Earth would look a lot ...

the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will expand the search for exoplanets as well as rogue planets, or worlds that travel through space without orbiting stars. The telescope, expected to lift ...

Here are some of the strangest exoplanets that scientists have discovered ... can see the planet's atmosphere relatively clearly, without too much starlight getting in the way.

as opposed to measuring only the quantity of light from the exoplanet without any spatial orientation,” said Nicolas Deshler, who is a PhD student in the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the ...

They flagged potential oceans and air sources on the exoplanet dubbed LHS 1140 b, situated within the constellation Cetus in our night sky. Although the name isn’t so moving, its potential is.

Even a lack of biosignatures on examined exoplanets can still tell us a lot about the probability of life on the billions of planets we haven't checked out yet, according to a study in The ...
