Scientists harnessing NASA's James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

Astronomers have snapped a picture of three planets orbiting a star beyond our own using a modest-sized telescope on the ground. The surprising feat was accomplished by a team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...

Combining two kinds of quantum computing devices could be just the trick for taking better images of faint, faraway ...

One of the main questions in exoplanet science concerns M dwarfs (red dwarfs) and the habitability of exoplanets that orbit ...

We have a couple of techniques that allow us to infer the presence of an exoplanet based on its effects on the light coming from its host star. But there’s an alternative approach that sometimes works ...

"We can see, for the first time, rings of dust surrounding protoplanets made visible by the bright starlight reflecting off of them." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

What planet is most like Earth? Reseachers have identified several exoplanets similar to our planet, but none that are an ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers imaged a new exoplanet that orbits a star in the nearby triple system Epsilon Indi. The planet is a cold super-Jupiter exhibiting a temperature ...

Astronomers have taken unprecedented images of baby planets in a distant star system. The planets are still surrounded by rings of gas and dust from which moons appear to be taking shape. The ...
