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

A giant exoplanet orbiting a nearby dwarf star has been found in an ideal location for next-generation telescopes to search for potential signs of life. The discovery of a potential “super-Earth” loca ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

Astronomers have recently unlocked a new frontier in exoplanet exploration, generating the first 3D map of a distant world.

Worlds upon worlds await us in the cosmos and we’re finding more all the time. Before 1992, we weren’t even completely certain planets existed outside of our solar system. Now, astronomers are finding ...

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 ...

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 ...
