For these UC students, hands-on research has led to class credit, money for school and a path to their dream future.

Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, only a select few show promise. Here we look at some of the most habitable exoplanets ever discovered ranked through their similarity to Earth.

It will block a tiny amount of the light. Looking at the atmosphere of an exoplanet is even more difficult. Scientists use spectroscopy to do this. The light coming out of the star can be observed ...

Researchers developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see exoplanets that are normally obscured by light from their parent stars. The images show theoretical, experimental and ...

Scientists discover life-sustaining molecules in exoplanet K2-18b’s atmosphere – Located 124 light-years away, using NASA’s JWST Scientists have detected molecules associated with biological ...

The AP is solely responsible for all content. Located about 120 light years away, the exoplanet appears to take an unusual path around two brown dwarfs, whipping around at a right angle.

And he is positive about it. Dr Madhusudhan and his team found chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b. It is a molecule linked to life on Earth.

The discovery of two chemicals on an exoplanet 124 light years (1,173 lakh crore kilometres) away from Earth is a Eureka moment for the scientific community. The excitement stems from the fact ...

But not everyone agrees that it signals life. An illustration shows what exoplanet K2-18b might look like based on data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. K2-18b is 8.6 times as massive as ...

A new study modeled the chemistry of TOI-270 d, an exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it could be a giant rocky planet shrouded in a thick, hot atmosphere.
