Florida teacher William Loggans told Fox News Digital he feels targeted after being forced to remove a Charlie Kirk poster from his classroom. "There's plenty of other posters and flags and stuff in ...

"It was just a matter of time before we found them." Thirty years ago, on Oct. 6, 1995, the very first exoplanet to be discovered around a sun-like star was revealed. Called 51 Pegasi b, it was a ...

In principle, discovering new exoplanets is pretty easy. Simply measure the brightness of a star over time, and when a planet passes in front of the star, the brightness will dim slightly. The more ...

The team of astronomers behind the find suggested it could help us better understand planet and moon formation in our solar system and beyond the Milky Way. The team was able to make the first-ever ...

Just decades after the first exoplanets were identified, our database of the distant worlds—monitored by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute—has breached a new threshold. Now, astronomers have ...

In our solar system, Earth is one of but eight planets – nine, if you really want to count Pluto – and the only one remotely hospitable to life. And as technology advances, astronomers only expect to ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system. In 1995, a gas giant named 51 Pegasi b, which orbits a star similar to Earth's sun, etched its name in history as the first exoplanet ever ...

Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James Webb ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Artist’s concept of Kepler-186f, an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star in the ...

This quiz invites you to embark on a journey across the galaxy, exploring the science and wonder behind exoplanet discovery. Far beyond the familiar planets of our solar system lies a staggering ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have reported a potential detection of a Saturn-like exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A: the closest Sun-like star to Earth, located just over ...

New observations fail to confirm signs of life in the atmosphere of the distant planet K2-18b. They also raise questions about what it will take to detect biology light-years away. By Carl Zimmer In ...
