When Star Wars debuted in 1977, astronomers had yet to confirm an exoplanet with the same orbital path as Skywalker’s home world. It would take another 16 years before experts located an actual ...
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to directly image a new exoplanet — represented by CC#1 in the image — within the three-ring debris disk surrounding the star TWA 7. A.-M ...
An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.
This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...
A paper published in 2023 spurred discussion about whether life exists on an exoplanet named K2-18b. Two years later, the puzzle continues — and some scientists are expressing doubt.
