It wasn’t until the ‘90s that our astronomical powers advanced enough to confirm the existence of worlds around other stars.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope made a groundbreaking discovery on exoplanet K2-18b. Scientists say they may have detected signs of life in its atmosphere. This could change how we see the universe ...

Hot, small and old—exoplanet TOI-561 b is just about the worst place to look for alien air. Scientists using JWST found it ...

But those claims were quickly met with pushback. Independent analyses of the same JWST data suggested the team's evidence for ...

The exoplanet was discovered during preliminary observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. Experts say they could soon ...

JWST data hints that Trappist-1e may have an atmosphere. More transits will test if this world could support liquid water. Recent observations with NASA’s advanced JWST telescope have revealed a ...

For years, astronomers have been excited about the idea that some planets beyond our solar system might be covered by vast, ...

New simulations suggest Earthlike planets may be much more typical than previously thought whereas water worlds may not.

Astronomers have taken a huge leap towards discovering habitable worlds, and the world now eagerly anticipates a rocky planet ...

TRAPPIST-1e shows no signs of its first atmosphere, but hints of a secondary one remain. Liquid water could still be possible ...

Experts are optimistic about the potential habitability of this celestial body. They said, "They could soon confirm if the exoplanet is habitable and could sustain liquid water." If confirmed, it ...

A new study challenges the dream of water-rich “Hycean” planets like K2-18b, suggesting that most sub-Neptunes lose their ...
