Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's super Neptune! But this Superman-mimicking planet is not blasting through space on its own. It is being dragged along by its parent star.

In 2011, a project that surveyed the Milky Way galaxy for exoplanets — which are planets beyond our solar system — spotted an ...

Astronomers are uncovering new insights into exoplanetary atmospheres, and a recent study on WASP-107 b has turned conventional models on their heads. This distant planet, with its incredibly low ...

Among the roughly 10 billion white dwarf stars in the Milky Way galaxy, a greater number than previously expected could ...

Gaia-4b is considered a super-Jupiter planet, a relatively cold gas giant, orbiting its star over 570 Earth-days. That star ...

Astronomers have found some pretty wild exoplanets. Some are balls of lava the temperature of hell, one is partially made of diamond, and another may rain molten iron. However, not all exoplanets are ...

A newly confirmed exoplanet around a nearby sunlike star might be astronomers’ best chance yet to look for life beyond the ...

New research shows that star activity can distort exoplanet measurements, affecting size, temperature, and atmosphere ...

One AstroAI study completed in 2023 used AI tools to develop a first-of-its-kind model to assess the atmospheres of exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. The model uses raw data ...
