When astronomers announced last month they might have discovered the most promising hints of alien life yet on a distant ...

In April, astronomers said they had detected a possible signature of life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Now, three independent ...

As the James Webb telescope becomes operational, we'll soon start receiving more data than ever before on the exoplanets nearest to us. The only problem is.... what ARE the exoplanets nearest to us?

Measurements of the orbital eccentricities of exoplanets with similar sizes and irradiation as Earth show that these worlds further resemble Earth with near-circular orbits, removing a potential ...

Researchers found that a tidally locked planet like our nearest neighbor Proxima b could produce significant lightning storms ...

Last month, astronomers claimed to have found the strongest evidence ever of alien life on a distant exoplanet named K2-18 b.

Tracking exoplanets via orbital mechanics isn't easy. Plenty of variables could affect how a planet moves around its star, and determining which ones affect any given exoplanet requires a lot of data ...

Of the more than 5,000 exoplanets that have been confirmed so far and many more thousands of candidates, most orbit stars the ...

Roman was similarly designed with a focused set of science goals, including exploring an uncharted region of exoplanet ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to precisely analyze molecular components such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres. The key to this ...

In a groundbreaking step for exoplanet science, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has given us an unprecedented look at the atmosphere of TOI-421 b, a sub-Neptune exoplanet about 245 light ...

On Earth, DMS is made by ocean plankton, then quickly broken down in the atmosphere through photochemical and other reactions ...
