An international research team with Korean participation has discovered a super Earth-like exoplanet, with the global academic journal Science publishing the findings. The Korea AeroSpace ...

The discovery came after a small extrasolar planet, or "exoplanet," in a wide orbit around its star was discovered, courtesy of a gravitational "microlensing" event designated OGLE-2016-BLG-0007.

Apparent signs of alien life on the exoplanet K2-18b may just be statistical noise, according to a new analysis of data from the James Webb Space Telescope. On 17 April, Nikku Madhusudhan at the ...
