Astronomers have recently uncovered a remarkable planetary system around the faint orange star WASP-132, featuring two ...

Astronomers have discovered six planets orbiting a bright star in perfect resonance. The star system, 100 light-years from Earth, was described on Wednesday in a paper published in the journal ...

The planets were detected by observing small dips in the star's brightness when they crossed in front of it from our vantage point. The innermost planet takes about nine days to orbit the star.

A team of astronomers led by Macquarie University has monitored the orbital decay of an extreme exoplanet to gain new ...

The two outermost planets complete an orbit in 41 and 54.7 days, resulting in four orbits for every three. The innermost planet, meanwhile, completes six orbits in exactly the time the outermost ...

Astronomers have observed a solar system where six planets are in perfect sync with each other as they dance through space around their star, a rare find in the galaxy. About 100 light-years away ...

Have you ever wondered why all the planets in our solar system orbit in the same plane? This fascinating characteristic of planetary orbits has intrigued astronomers for centuries. When we observe the ...

But planets in the same orbit “have so far been like unicorns,” noted study co-author Jorge Lillo-Box of Madrid’s Center for Astrobiology.“They are allowed to exist by theory, but no one has ever ...

It turns out TOI-2202 b's slanted orbit is very similar to planets in the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which tracks all 5,500 or so confirmed planets outside the solar system.

The planets were detected by observing small dips in the star's brightness when they crossed in front of it from our vantage point. The innermost planet takes about nine days to orbit the star.
