A paper published this week by doctoral candidate Te Han and his adviser, Paul Robertson, probably shrinks the number of ...

The search for habitable exoplanets is a key priority and sits at the pinnacle of exoplanet science. The science community ...

Astronomers have uncovered major size errors in TESS planet data, suggesting we’ve found fewer Earth-like exoplanets than we believed.

Scientists argue that the persistent nature of life on Earth implies billions of planets in the universe could be habitable. This insight reshapes how we understand life's potential beyond our solar ...

Very massive stars (VMSs) have had a massive impact on the formation of our universe. However, there aren't very many of them ...

NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been used to discover Earth-size planet TOI 700 e. It is "orbiting ...

The newfound exoplanet, called Kepler-139f, is a gigantic world roughly twice the mass of Neptune and 35 times the mass of ...

Without enough liquid water on the surface, a planet's atmosphere can become choked with carbon dioxide, raising temperatures ...

The discovery of a potentially habitable exoplanet by the James Webb Space Telescope sparks fresh curiosity across science ...

NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's ...

According to the latest studies led by Heidelberg University astronomers, low-mass stars quite often host Earth-like planets. Data collected as part of the CARMENES project were the basis of this ...

The observations expand the range of environments where habitable worlds might emerge. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most ...
