The four exoplanets orbit Barnard’s Star so closely that their years last only a few Earth days. They are probably rocky and, ...

Scientists have detected a potential exoplanet using an unusual method — tracking shifts in another planet’s orbit. The hot Jupiter TOI-2818b was found to have an unexpected timing variation, hinting ...

In October 1995, after decades of serious effort, astronomers announced the first discovery of a planet orbiting a Sun-like ...

BYUH students share their understanding of exoplanets and what humanity’s enduring hunt for life outside the solar system ...

The recent findings up the number of exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star from one to at least three, possibly four, as researchers were able to use the MAROON-X instrument on the Gemini North telescope ...

A paper published in 2023 spurred discussion about whether life exists on an exoplanet named K2-18b. Two years later, the ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered an exoplanet that defies the usual pace of time. WASP-121b, located 900 light-years away, has a year t ...

The first confirmed exoplanets were discovered in 1992 orbiting a pulsar—a radio-wave-emitting, rapidly rotating neutron star formed from the aftermath of a massive star turned supernova.

In research highlighted in a new paper, published today in The Astrophysical Journal, Scientia Senior Lecturer Ben Montet and PhD candidate Brendan McKee analysed changes in the timing of a known ...

However, the first exoplanet, and five more that followed in the first half of 1996, qualified only as distant cousins. Because the technique that revealed them could find only massive planets ...
